“...the real question is, why is there such an explosion of autism in recent years?”
You know, it has been determined to be a profitable treatment protocol so the increased autism was formulated.
the explosion of Autism is at least partly due to them lumping Aspergers in with Autism They were separate at one time.
I think it's been an explosion starting at least 30 years ago. I say 30 because I have 5 friends from my senior softball community who have sons around the age of 30 with degrees of autism ranging from non- verbal to functioning.
Growing in in northern Michigan in the 50's and 60's, there was no one with any symptoms of autism. One friend had suffered from polio, but that's it.
