Reading articles only gives you the opinion of the writer, and what they have decided is cause and effect. There are hundreds of articles, however many specialized groups, rely on dedicated research from the top 10 learning institutions for Autistic Children.
Unless you are directly involved, with an autistic child, reading an article doesn’t make fact or fiction, for each child is unique in their own way.
After meeting and hugged by many parents, and seeing the children in our son’s program, I have no idea how those working in the clinic, kept a positive outlook for every child in the program. I have met many parents who didn’t even use OTC medications, yet child had diagnosis of autism.
Did I read the article listed in this thread, no..I get to listen to people who are directly involved.

My Mom taught special education kids in Reno, Nevada from around 1974 through 1984. No two were alike just like with any other groups of people. She did bring them home on occasion if memory serves.
And there probably were food additives in many things back then.
She also volunteered to help special needs adults here in the Villages. I see one of these people almost once a month as she works at a local store.
She did have some of these adults come home with her on occasion.
