I'm not suggesting any conspiracy of any sort.

I'm merely stating the obvious--which you choose not to see--that there was a very dramatic increase in the incidence of autism in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and not just in our country.

That cannot be blamed on mere genetics. There may be some environmental cause somewhere, that affects people with a certain genetic predisposition, perhaps.

I'd merely like somebody to investigate the causes. And I want them to focus on REAL autism, true, low-functioning, severe autism, not just people with awkward social skills.

There's no disagreement on your last point, research into the causes of such things is always useful and I agree that it should be done.
