[quote=Anonymous]I thought the author of Neurotribes did a good job in explaining why it appears that there are more cases now. He presents it as a function of several factors—the formal recognition of the spectrum to include both Asperger's and Kanner autism (something that would have happened sooner but was derailed by WWII and professional politics) as well as the broadening of criteria when the DSM was updated to reflect that. Essentially, as others have said: not more now, just under-recognized in the past.[/quote]
