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?

H.bomberman or whether his name is lists the actual sources in his video.

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

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...
