[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there more children with autism or more children with a diagnosis these days? I don’t recall this many of either, growing up not that long ago. Is it the water? People becoming parents at an older age? Serious question. [/quote] Definitely more diagnosis. Autism was once thought to be a rare, always severe disorder. Children with little or no language, completely withdrawn and very bizarre behavior. This changed in the early 80's with the rediscovery of Hans Asperger's work on less affected children and the change was incorporated into DSM IV which came out in 1994.[/quote]
