So then they jump to "toxins" claiming things like antifreeze and formaldehyde are in vaccines, when it isn't true... usually it ends up being the anti-vaccine person not understanding that different chemicals are in fact different even if they do contain the word "glycol", or that the formaldehyde in vaccines is the same as what's in the body, and in far smaller quantities.
They just recently found some genes related to autism too.

So is it that "autism" was attributed to other things for kids my age (just unruly, the ever popular ADD, etc...) and it always existed in a significant percentage of the population or has something caused there to be an increase and "autism" is relatively new?
