You didn't even read the article, did ya? 
For me, when it comes to medical issues, I won't even entertain something that doesn't come from someone with at least some medical background/education/training.

But wait, there's more...
I have no idea what you're talking about. Nevertheless, this thread was originally started to alert parents who might be interested to know about a long-awaited solution to medication issues for their kids. If you have nothing of value to add (which, thus far, you haven't), you're not a physician, and you don't have kids, why not go post yourtomchamp said:

Very interesting...
Exposure to mercury, used as a preservative in thimerosal containing vaccines (TCVs), leads to neurologic effects that may be the primary cause of the apparent autism epidemic, according to Bernard Rimland, Mark Geier, and a number of advocacy groups including Safe Minds. If true, one would expect the incidence of autism to be declining as the use of thimerosal containing vaccines declines. In the US, removal of thimerosal from children's vaccines was recommended in 1998. Childhood exposure may not have peaked until 2003 in the US, as pharmaceutical companies have moved toward compliance, according to research reported by Mark Geier. That research contradicts the findings of the Food and Drug Administration, which found that all major vaccines (except one influenza vaccine) was thimerosal-free by 2001.[55] European countries that abolished thimerosal before the US have not had declines in autism. Geier's study was heavily criticized by the American Academy of Pediatrics as unscientific.[56]
This... from the same article is a scary thought considering we women are encouraged to increase our folic acid intake during pregnancy...
Folic acid
Increased intake of folic acid by pregnant women roughly coincides with the reported increase in the prevalence of autism. The explanation offered is that folic acid allows more brain cells to survive than should. This hypothesis is untested at this point.
