It’s not vaccines. Anything mental gets diagnosed as Autism these days, because it turns on the money.

Having a non verbal 22 year old autistic nephew, a 18 year old autistic granddaughter and a 30 year old deaf/autistic son I disagree with you. Autism is on the rise , no doubt about it.

I dunno. I have read that new fathers over 40 are more likely to have kids with autism than younger men. And a lot more couples (men) are getting married later and putting off having kids. It may be as simple as that.

Talk to the long-time pre-school and grade school teachers. It isn’t just the money, something has changed.

I believe the rise in Autism is related to the reliance on visual technology.
