“For a large part, ‘autism’ does not exist.
There are genuine cases, but mostly it is an excuse for poor behaved children and poor parenting.”
What qualifications do you have to be spouting such outrageous nonsense? Are you a doctor? Cite your sources of information. How many autistic people have you ever dealt with?
A) Real autism does exist.
B) The majority of cases of ‘autism’ today are not true cases of autism but people gaming the system for a variety of reasons.
The Autism crowd would have you believe that in 2011 — 1 in 58 boys are autistic which is simply a lie. The truer number is closer to 1 in 10,000.
Once you get a school to believe your child is autistic, you get special treatment, tutoring, tax payer financed goodies, and a general excuse for any behavior or rule broken by the child. The school benefits by getting extra state/federal dollars and grants for each student they label autistic.

Psychiatric Fads and Overdiagnosis
“5)It is no accident that the recent “epidemics” have all occurred in the childhood disorders. There are two contibuting factors. The first is the push by drug companies into this new market. The second is that the provision of special educational services often requires that there be a DSM diagnosis.”

Professor Stephen Camarata of Vanderbilt University:
“There is already considerable evidence of false diagnoses of preschool children as autistic, and the treatments inflicted on them can be abusive, with incalculable negative effects on their development.”
