Where did iilluminaughtii get the script for the Autism Speaks videos? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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?

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.
