Not to sound preachy or goody-two-shoes but that's why they make daytime and nighttime ones. If someone takes nighttime medication with a sleep-aid and they get into a car anyway, they're a knob. The non-drowsy daytime ones if taken properly (and actually for a cold) shouldn't effect a person's driving to the point where they become a danger. 
I didn't know that....   My son has every single other risk factor for autism, engineer grandparents, c-section, advanced maternal/paternal age (my parents were old when they had me, I was old when I had him), we live in the city and next to a highway, vinyl floors, MDF furniture, no early prenatal care (didn't know I was pregnant), he's a boy, he was vaccinated, formula fed (supplemented), I grew up sucking in pesticides (orchard next to us was sprayed once a week),...
   you mean there was a conversation when you didn't doubt every. single. post I wrote? Show me!! lol
Glad someone finally said it. I know several people who have children diagnosed as autistic who are nothing more than attention seekers taking advantage of resources and privileges which should be for children who need it. Of everyone I know who has a child with autism, only one is actually "disabled". This child has a service dog which was trained and donated by a program in our region... not long after, another "friend" begins peddling for donations for her "free dog"....
You'd have to take a lot of cold medicine for it to impact your driving... someone who is driving under the "influence" of cold medicine doesn't just have a cold. 
Sorry to hear that!    My colleague went through almost exactly the same thing. She was supposed to have her baby 6 weeks after me but ended up having him a week after mine. He didn't have to stay in the NICU but they did stay in the hospital for about a week (I'm not exactly sure why, it could be unrelated). A year later, he has no health problems and has no trouble keeping up with my son.   At the time I can't imagine how stressful it was for them, but today...
  I don't seriously intend this to be "evidence", but my dad grew up in the 50's in a small, rural town with not much to do... as a practical joke they used feed mercury to unsuspecting friends (not just once but regularly) or play with it with their bare hands. I've met these people, they're now in their 60's... they all seem fine. Leads me to think that trace amounts of mercury isn't as bad as we're led to believe. 
Thanks! You have lovely kids! :)
The smallest pack I think they have for size Small is 10 or 12.... but they're for kids 16-26lbs so you'll probably be able to use them even next year. You can often find coupons for $2-$3 off and if you catch them on sale they end up being really inexpensive.  
I understood the article to just be a "Reader's Digest" version aimed at the profession as they may not have time to read through the studies... but really, they could have more info for people who may have been interested...
