In the same period in which the US stopped using it, the US autism instance went down, the UK’s did not. Might be coincedence, but that’s the data.

I'd love to see a cite on that particular 'fact'. If you don't have one, I'd say that you're making things up as you go along.

Here's a study that directly contradicts what you're saying:

Thimerasol exposure declines autism rates increase
