Yes, the rates of diagnosis of developmental issues like autism went up roughly around when countries had more money or assistance to invest in healthcare infrastructure, including vaccination. As those resources were becoming more abundant, the stigmatization of mental illness was going down, health literacy was going up, and there were more financial resources for things like early intervention in schools, so a diagnosis wasn't merely pointing fingers.

This isn't surprising to some people.

For others, they say things like "nobody has provided any alternative medical explanation!" as if this had not been discussed, and discussed ad nauseum. [/quote]

Are you arguing that the rate of autism is actually consistent over time, but diagnostic criteria changing is the only reason we have more autism now?

Would you use that same argument on something like peanut allergies?[/quote]

Hey, guess what a peanut allergy has that a clinical diagnosis does not?[/quote]
