Medical tests have found measles virus in her body that matched the strain in the MMR vaccine. OK, but the company that performed the tests has since gone under, and the accuracy of the tests is extremely questionable. http://autismdiva.blogspot.com/ has great coverage of this trial.
A week later, she began to have a fever that soared to 105.8 degrees.
I do wonder how thorough a neurological exam Michelle was given. Fevers of 105F or higher are known to cause brain damage - by 106F, an average human is having convulsions - and if you add that to someone who already has some autistic traits, it's not hard to see how they could come out looking substantially "more autistic" than they otherwise might.
