Well...usually I am on the attack the deniers side of this argument... Clarification is in order though.
The diagnosis of Autism Related Disorders has risen...
Most here know that Jr has Autism... He was diagnosed with PDD-NOS at the age of 3.
The thing about this HUGE increase of occurrence is this - they are not ALL truly Autism. They are all in the family of the disorder.
Think of the ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) as an umbrella. Within ASD are what we know as Aspergers, PDD, Autism, Fragile X and several more.
All of these share a few symptoms but are not the same... They have similarities but that is where they stop.
An Aspie is definitely different than someone with PDD and on and on.
The occurrence grows as the sub groups grow.
Why are so many kids being affected?
Some treat it as a form of allergy...thus the GFCFSF diet and its importance to our kids.
Others treat it with ignorance waiting for the veil to lift from the eyes of their child(ren)...not knowing that a simple change in diet can have a MONUMENTAL effect in their child's life.
I think that if you were to look at the how often TRUE Autism happens it will be more frequent than it was 30-40 years ago...but not nearly as high as the other disorders that fall under the umbrella of ASD.
This is where the enormous rise is happening in the related disorders...
Vaccines, Fluoride, Aluminum, ethyl Mercury (thimerasol) they all have their place in this problem that is being brought unto our children and pushed upon them.

CDC lied and more kids died
Why lie? I AM a thread killer.
Sun Tzu must have seen babs coming when he put this down in writing: In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemies country WHOLE and INTACT. So, too, it is better to recapture an army entire than to destroy it, to capture a regiment or a company than to destroy them...
