[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The genetic predisposition is certainly clear. That doesn't mean we should drown ourselves in environmental triggers.[/quote] Plus there is no denying that t[b]here is a huge increase in the more profound autism cases[/b], not just asperger's. Huge, huge undeniable increase that anyone can see for themselves. We don't need to say "Oh, it's because we are diagnosing more now" -- that is nonsense meant to fool the gullible or the very young or the very scared.[/quote] Multiple community studies have found this to be a myth. There hasn't been a huge increase in the rate of people with ASDs. It's probably a change in our use of diagnostic labels that is causing the apparent increase. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21536975 http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/117/4/1028.abstract[/quote]
