Well, I can give you the reading list that I give my students for the autism stuff - or do you mean, background in rhetoric? For the rhetoric stuff, we mostly use the textbook, which is:
John D. Ramage, John C. Bean, and June C. Johnson, Eds. Writing Arguments: A Rhetoric with Readings, 9/E (9th edition, 2012). ISBN: 9780205171637
The stuff I give the students on the vaccines/autism scare is:
Kennedy, "Deadly Immunity" Rosenberg, "Salon.com Retracts Vaccination Story, But Shouldn't Delete It" Lauerman, "Behind the Vaccine Panic" Cunningham, "The Facts in the Case of Dr. Andrew Wakefield" Oakley and Johnston, "Balancing Benefits and Harms" Wald, "Commentary: Silent Prevention"
And I can give you full references on those if you'd like.
