What source? The guy I quoted already provided it.
We've known ever since Minamata (and one could even say before then) that mercury fucks people up. The fact that the kids of people living near mercury dump zones are born with Autism isn't surprising. In fact, what surprising is that they don't end up with worse things like malignant tumors or collapsed lungs.
In terms of vaccines, mercury is not shown to cause autism.
One vaccine ingredient that has been studied specifically is thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative used to prevent contamination of multidose vials of vaccines. Research shows that thimerosal does not cause ASD.

There is no evidence to support the association between mercury poisoning and autism.
