[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, the numbers of autism, the incidence, is actually increasing. https://www.science.org/content/article/autism-rates-are-it-really-rise [quote]The possibility that autism numbers have jumped as children's' diagnoses are changed has been discussed, says Annette Estes, director of the University of Washington's Autism Center in Seattle. The Penn State study's use of the vast special education database makes a convincing case that is happening, she says. But it doesn't explain all of the increase. "[u]People who are in the field are generally in consensus that the majority of the increase is due to progress in our ability to diagnose and identify people with autism in a broader spectrum than used to be possible[/u]," Estes says. "[u]But then there is this portion of an increase that is not accounted for in a lot of statistical studies that are done[/u]."[/quote][/quote] A portion. How much? Is it other dx now being labeled as autism?[/quote]
