Should my 9 month old baby eat tuna fish?
You cannot develop autism. You are born with it. The brain usually develops the same in most people until around 18 mos. Around that time, the autistic’s brain continues to develop but differently. Since this time is when the autistic first becomes “different”, people try to blame mercury (vaccinations) because they are given around that time. I believe that some fish can have trace amounts of mercury, so that’s where you’re hearing this from. There have been tons of studies that have failed to show a link to mercury and autism, yet the myth continues to spread like wildfire across the internet. Research yourself, and you’ll discover that the real science out there does not support a mercury causes autism postition.
