For those that do not know, iilluminaughtii (creator of these highly influential videos on the organization Autism Speaks) was recently exposed for plagiarizing a significant portion of her videos, (video, main video) including her video on the relation between autism and vaccines.

Was this video plagiarized like many of her current videos, or did she research it herself?

If it was plagiarized, where was it taken from?

If you are interested this is the guy's video on antivaxers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BIcAZxFfrc here is the doc with sources that he used [Possible antivax links in there] : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wNJ3tj3X2HZ0PTnUGnlrjpFsQu6tYKYTS7JvhFG2TMk/edit

Could you give the timestamp for the Autism Speaks claim? I can't find it anywhere in the video.

if I recall he didn't mention the Autism Speaks video, but her other videos on Autism. Sources should be in the bottom corner of the screen. here is the timestamp to that section: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDp3cB5fHXQ&t=2594s

I don’t think Autism Speaks is trustworthy to me.

There’s a lot of stigma they push about autism.

I wasn't asking about if it was right or wrong, I just want to know where it's from.

I see.

If she said anything recognizing that she plagiarised and said anything to the effect of trying to correct it, I'd simply ask for sources in the comments. I don't know this creator so I have no real direct insight on them tho...
