Abstract
One in every 150 children has an autism spectrum disorder. Mitochondrial dysfunction is not rare among these children. The best evidence suggests that at least 4 percent — and perhaps 20 percent or more — of autistic children have mitochondrial dysfunction. With stakes this high, it's time for policy-makers to take five common-sense steps to ensure that more children are not damaged by the very vaccines intended to protect them.
