They changed the methodology for making the diagnosis. From what they did, it is impossible to really say if Autism has increased or not.

Liberal trickery with statistics. They fiddle with numbers to justify increased expenditures.

I got this from wiki (I know, I know .. but I just wanted a one liner type of description);

Autism is a disorder of neural development characterized by impaired social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior. For a diagnosis to be made, symptoms must become apparent before a child is three years old.

I watched my kids grow with the critical eye of an outspoken father, unafraid to speak publically and meet strangers.

I watched other kids as I watched mine and did my own compare and contrast.

I've concluded (no, I'm not a doc of any kind nor do I play one on TV ... and I didn't sleep at a Holiday Inn last night neither), you can't diagnose much of any long term, later in life attributes at an early age.

AAMOF, I'm angered at the mama's who say "Oh, he doesn't like peas" because Johnny mooshed them up in his mouth at 6 months and squeezed them out like a pimple ... just havin' fun with peas.


And if it is truly impaired social interaction and communication, every democrat is autistic and should be voted out .... before the island tips over on the flag we planted on Mars.

Just like obesity, they changed the definition to fit the policy agenda.

Its all about MONEY. The gubmint has been pushing the Medicaid and SSI program called “Crazy Kid” which gives the “parent” cash each month (and the skool district too) if they can get their kid to act nutty or dirt stupid during the evaluation. Lots of Holder’s People signing up. Apparently now there is a way even if the kid don’t act crazy enough.

Just another reparations program, with little concern for the poor kids self esteem of being ID’d as mentally defecient.

Of all the Federal agencies I have ever encountered, the only one I can give high marks to, is the CDC. When I worked with them, they were highly dedictated to true public health, sans agenda; they were very professional and extremely educated in hard science (Hard science people tend to be less liberal, as well).

Sure, I saw some slackers and ne'er-do-wells, but you get those people in any large organization. On the whole, pretty good grades for the CDC.
