The number of non-verbal, highly autistic individuals as a percentage of the population has definitely increased over time. There is no way these people could have been missed by earlier generations yet the occurrence rate has increased dramatically.
At the same time, people who in previous generations would have just been considered loners, introverts, or oddballs are now being classified as being on the spectrum. There's no doubt it's being diagnosed more frequently in this population due to the criteria being expanded. But that doesn't mean its all from that.
But something is going on, and the increase in non-verbal cases prove it. And it's almost certainty not genetic as it happened to quickly. So that leaves an environmental cause, and when coupled with countless parents reporting sudden changes immediately after vaccination, it looks pretty damning.
No doubt Jeff C. I think all above comments from Trilby, Tonya, Logic & Jacqui all are right in a way. All CAN be right while at the same time, we must see that a huge abnormal upsurge in diagnoses cannot be attributed solely to a broad umbrella of ASD, or solely to stupid diagnoses like Trilby's son. Tonya is right that there's a social contagion element at some ages. But in my mind & yours & many others, it has to be environment & the hugely likely culprit is the heavy metals in vaccines. Add to the fact that they have never actually studied vaccines the way other pharma is studied, and that they've covered up data, and are now crowing about misinformation from right-thinkers. I suspect the vaccine schedule is going to dramatically change in the near future.
I agree but both can be true.

From your mouth to God's ear.
Agree.
