He doesn't know much about autism... There are those that have a form of autism called Aspergers and they have many issues as well. Seems like many of these "non autistic kids" may well have a form of Autism.
The comment "Some parents have even said, "Now I wish he would shut up." is telling. Aspergers have a hard time with knowing when talking is excessive or not and social issues like that.

interesting article and interesting comments. another possible bias is what docs are paid to diagnose these conditions. I believe psychiatrists are paid more to diagnose and treat bipolar patients and some have said many of these diagnosises are being given out more often than appropriate. Don’t know if this is true or not, or if so, if something similar might be in play for autism. It may also be the case that medical care has advanced to such an extent that people are simply more educated about the disorder and more likely to seek out help to check on children experiencing some delays.
