Perhaps someone more versed in the details of this could help me out
here. This raises two questions for me:

1) Is measles virus found in the gut and spinal fluid of non-autistic
    children?

2) Even if measles virus is somehow implicated in the cause of autism
    (I doubt this, but for the sake of argument), why would the MMR be
    a villain, but contracting ordinary wild measles would not have
    the same effect?
