N2  - This paper was originally written for a very different audience around 25 years ago, since when a great deal has changed both in autism research and in the wider world.  Thus there was no mention of mercury (of which I knew almost nothing at the time) or of the autism increase (of which no-one else knew much either back then).  And also I have become much more experienced in writing than back then.  And paper-printed journals were very hostile to ?excessive? length such that at least one paragraph got rather more squashed than I am happy to see it now.  
So for these reasons I am making some minor changes to the writing, which do not change the actual content or meaning but which make for a better reading experience.  For the convenience of cynics I will list all those changes at the end.  In addition I am adding in some update notes in the text, indicated thus:  [2014 Update: blah blah...]
