The number of autism cases has skyrocketed in the past few decades. In the 1970s and 1980s, about one out of every 2,000 children had autism. Today, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that one in 150 8-year-olds in the United States has an autism spectrum disorder, or ASD. This expanded definition refers not only to autism but also to a collection of brain development disorders such as Asperger’s syndrome.It’s been considered a medical puzzle. Mothers, and frankly all of us, are understandably concerned. Considering the numbers, it’s reasonable to ask: What’s causing the rise in cases?Now researchers believe they know what’s responsible for the bulk of the rise:...https://www.geneticliteracyproject.org/2016/09/22/autism-increase-mystery-solved-no-its-not-vaccines-gmos-glyphosate-or-organic-foods/
Some people you just can't reach and they will hold onto their false cause as to how their little bundle of joy contracted ASD.
...In other words, there may be a few cultural changes that make autism rates fluctuate slightly over time, but the gradual increase in diagnoses can most likely be attributed to researchers getting better at spotting autism, rather than more people having autism.........Autism as it’s understood today is in fact a fairly new diagnosis. As recently as the 60s and 70s, some researchers falsely thought the disease was caused by “refrigerator mothers” who didn’t love their children enough. Autism wasn’t understood as a genetic issue until the 1980s, and schools only began treating autism as a special education category in the 1990s.There’s a good chance you’ve met someone in their 60s, 70s, or 80s who might have been diagnosed with autism if they’d been born today, but were just seen as exhibiting unusual behavior in their childhood.The notion that autism is on the rise is a talking point of the anti-vaccine movement — a group that believes parents shouldn’t vaccinate their kids based on research from a fraudulent 1998 study......https://explorist.futurism.com/no-autism-not-caused-vaccinations-not-rise/
