Top event a book

My top event was the release of Age of Autism: Mercury, Medicine and a Manmade Epidemic. From the book we learned that autism was discovered (invented) in 1943. We learned that all 11 original cases were exposed to ethylmercury. Rather than quickly getting to the bottom of this debilitating condition, we see how the medical industrial complex has turned autism (ethylmercury poisoning) into a multi-billion dollar a year industry.
