Yes, I saw the Larry King you are referring to.

As someone studying to be a psychologist, I always have to know "why"?

And my questions about autism are no different.

Why?

I don't think there is some vast conspiracy; rather, the experts are working with what they know now.

Medical literature is absolutely brimming over with treatments developed to help, but had horrific side effects as well. And it takes time to establish a clear link. I am sure the Drs. that prescribed thalidomide to their pregnant patients meant no harm. I am sure the Dr. who told my mother that hormone replacement therapy was "highly unlikely" to increase her risk for breast cancer meant no harm either. But she did get breast cancer. And now the link is common knowledge.
