[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, but the majority of kids being diagnosed with autism and pushing up the diagnosis numbers to 1 in 68 don't have language delays and most likely would get an ADHD diagnosis if not autism.[/quote]

Huge generalization.  You obviously know jack about developmental delays.

Thanks again, OP for pot stirring with a almost two year old report.  We have lots of uniformed coming over from Gen Par.[/quote]

Story is brand new, not old.  And several news organizations are reporting it.[/quote]

No it's not.  You linked to "recent" content from CNN's website that linked to a news story from a year ago.  Learn how the internet works.

The study was released in [b]March 2014[/b]:  http://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2014/p0327-autism-spectrum-disorder.html

It's OLD news.

Too bad you didn't read the article, which has the followup information in it about contacting the parents after the diagnosis.
