I read an article about Isreal doing this same type of study with similiar results over 5 years ago. Since people are now having children when they are older, it would make sense that that would be a reason why the cases of autism are rising.
Plus, every time they change the parameters of what autism consists of, the number of cases will change.
“Since people are now having children when they are older, it would make sense that that would be a reason why the cases of autism are rising.”
There are also more premature babies that were kept alive by “artificial” means and more induced premature delivery/C-section dates done for convenience. Along with schools getting more money for each expanded autism “diagnosis”, I can’t say I feel comfortable with any of the findings the government would like us to believe.
