The abstract and study are crap and that is a reason nothing had been done to further it's conclusions since issuance in 2009.
So how about a more recent one from 2013 looking at antigens and vaccines, including HepB. Guess what? No link found.
CDC summary here with a link to the full study.

HepB is a Mercola and Age of Autism bogeyman. There is literally nothing they can pin their hats on except that 2009 study, which is ridiculously flawed. But feel free to ignore every other vaccine-autism study that directly contradicts its findings as anything other than flawed methodology.

You're not missing anything. This is just another study misrepresented by anti-vaxers.

Nothing. It was nearly unanimous that more antivac idiocy wouldl be good for DU.

That is true. That is why I am not Antivac. I am for informed Vaccination.

My patients have to sign consent forms before they get vaccines. Big, long government consent forms.

If it's not entirely due to Dx changes then there's an environmental factor.

If the rate is going up, and it's not entirely measurement error, then it's environmental.

Of course, studies about the safety of the full vaccination schedule show no issues.
