The symptoms of Mercury poisoning include peripheral
nerve damage and in severe cases Cerebral palsy
neither of which occur in Autism. Because a cause for
Autism(other than a hereditary predisposition) has not
been found,parents of children with autism have been
quick to place unfounded blame on a variety of
environmental exposures-most recently MMR
vaccinations.
Organic mercury is much more dangerous than Mercury
amalgam and I am unaware of any good scientific
studies linking the small amounts of mercury in
fillings with mercury poisoning although that hasn't
kept people with Multiple Sclerosis from pulling all
their dental fillings.
