[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Is the increase mostly in mild forms? [/b]Because that's where most diagnostic progress has been made. If we see an increase in severe forms, then that's cause to worry about environmental causes.[/quote]

Even if it is, shouldn’t we still question why so many kids are diagnosed and whether any of it can be prevented?[/quote]

Autoimmune disorders are on the rise, allergies are on the rise, asthma is on the rise.

I wonder if we are going to get to 1 in 5 kids with autism and people will still say it's all better detection, broadening definition and mild forms. When will it be enough for people to care about environmental triggers?[/quote]

None of these are comparable and all have medical evidence and often genetic.[/quote]

I think they are comparable.  There are doctors who believe these are all related to autoimmune disorders.  Kids with ADHD and autism are much more likely to get PANS/PANDAS.  There’s a high correlation between Celiac and ADHD, etc.[/quote]

It seems related to me. Kids with ASD have GI issues, disproportionately. There’s the interesting fever effect, in which some kids become more “typical” behaviorally, when they have a fever. There is also a pallor that I see in kids with ADHD and ASD—nobody has been able to explain to me what it is, but it’s noticeable.[/quote]
