Since this article came out, (and it seems to be posted on several sites, including the one provided above) the MIND Institute has issued a response which can be found here: http://www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/mindinstitute/newsroom/releases/index.html
Additionally, I have found this news release that says it was "Adapted from materials provided by University of California - Davis, via EurekAlert!, a service of AAAS." and does NOT mention a link between autism and Triclosan. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/12/071207150713.htm
