Relation of childhood gastrointestinal disorders to autism: nested case-control study using data from the UK General Practice Research Database
TL;DR: No evidence was found that children with autism were more likely than children without autism to have had defined gastrointestinal disorders at any time before their diagnosis of autism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Autistic disorder and viral infections
TL;DR: Controversy has arisen as to the involvement of measles virus and/or the measles, mumps, rubella vaccine in the development of autism, whereas epidemiologic studies show no association between MMR and autism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thimerosal-Containing Vaccines and Autistic Spectrum Disorder: A Critical Review of Published Original Data
TL;DR: Evidence does not support a change in the standard of practice with regard to administration of thimerosal-containing vaccines in areas of the world where they are used, and the pharmacokinetics of ethylmercury make such an association less likely.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increase in congenital rubella occurrence after immunisation in Greece: retrospective survey and systematic review.
TL;DR: With low vaccination coverage, the immunisation of boys and girls aged 1 year against rubella carries the theoretical risk of increasing the occurrence of congenital rubella.

William J. Moss,Diane E. Griffin +1 more

The Autistic Spectrum
TL;DR: A simple system of subgrouping based solely on a description of the type of social impairment will be used, which avoids the confusion inherent in trying to identify the named syndromes.

Abnormal intestinal permeability in children with autism.
Patrizia D'Eufemia,Mauro Celli,R. Finocchiaro,Lucia Pacifico,L Viozzi,M. Zaccagnini,Ettore Cardi,Omero Giardini +7 more
TL;DR: It is speculated that an altered intestinal permeability could represent a possible mechanism for the increased passage through the gut mucosa of peptides derived from foods with subsequent behavioural abnormalities.
Journal ArticleDOI
A neurochemical theory of autism
TL;DR: Panksepp et al. as discussed by the authors put forward the idea that autism is an emotional disturbance arising from an upset in the opiate systems in the brain, and hence proposed, as a possibility, opiate antagonist therapy for the autistic syndrome.
