I have added a scientific consensus statement to the statement about thimerosal and autism (my edit summary: required statement per NPOV; "avoid stating seriously contested assertions as facts". Content from Thimerosal controversy. Also move out of first paragraph of section due to WP:WEIGHT concern). However, I think it may be useful to discuss here whether the content has the WP:WEIGHT to be in the article at all; it is furthermore a violation of WP:MEDRS, our requirements on medical sourcing (it is sourced to a primary study and a news article). I would remove it myself, but the statement is currently a DYK hook so this seems like the best temporary solution. Sunrise ( talk) 07:32, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
I will be creating a new paragraph under the "Environmental Factors of ASD" subheading that addresses maternal immune activation. This is an environmental risk factor that is known to be correlated with the development of neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism and schizophrenia.
