[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, except it doesn't exactly move the ball forward. "Sandin, an assistant professor of psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, noted that the findings also don't reflect anything about the reported increases in autism rates in recent years. The higher rates must have something to do with increased awareness or environmental factors, "and our study cannot shed any light on this," he said." Those are the major questions[/quote] Rising numbers is also correlated to IEP labels which aren't medical but are legislative designations.[/quote] My guess is that rising numbers may also be attributable to the high-stakes testing atmosphere that makes everyone anxious about kids who are in any way different in K. In some schools this likely results in increased identification of special needs. [/quote]
