Mercury and Chelation

I'm curious about your thoughts on this? Do you think that thimerosal is responsible, at least in part, for developmental conditions (notably autism)?

Many people that believe their children are mercury poisoned are using chelating agents to remove the residual metals from peripheral tissues and the brain and have reported that their children are better. Is this wrong? Is it right?

I ask, because apparently, the FDA has pulled DMSA - which actually has been used for a very long time to remove metals etc... and has been proven effective in animal models.
