This wiki article is super weaselly and just plain gross. The first paragraph states that "In spite of the scientific consensus that fears about its safety are unsubstantiated,[6][7][8][9]..." If you actually check those sources they're all about specifically autism. But the paragraph says nothing about autism and simply states that fears about it's safety are unsubstantiated. Later on it goes into detail about how toxic it is and that it's mechanism of toxicity is not known. Basically it's very toxic, it will damage your brain and your kidneys, but don't worry about it because it for sure doesn't cause autism. It later breaks down into inorganic mercury which is also toxic. It also says, "Later it was reported that ethylmercury is eliminated from the body and the brain significantly faster than methylmercury, so the late-1990s risk assessments turned out to be overly conservative." I'm not a doctor, but I think I'll shoot for 0 toxic mercury in my brain, regardless of it's rate of removal relative to other extremely toxic substances, thank you very much. I suspect if I told you that I have a substance that is significantly less lethal than cyanide, you still wouldn't take it. I sure wouldn't. It also kinda implies that multiple governments have banned it's use, mostly just to shut up those crazy anti-vaxxers, which is just ridiculous. Edit: Downvotes without replies are always so impressive.
