[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1st child. Autism.  They tend to be firstborns because the firstborn child gets 2/3 of the mother's toxic burden[/quote]

There are conflicting studies on this, as a quick search will show. No one here can add additional information to that. [/quote]

If this was even remotely true, 80% of the world's special needs kids would be coming out of China over the past 10 years given the insane pollutants they are breathing in every single day. But we can obviously see it's not true.[/quote]

We don't know anything about the rate of special needs in China.  [/quote]

Autism rate in China and the rest of asian roughly 1 in 1000[/quote]

Citation to verifiable source?

And autism is not the spectrum of special needs.  Cerebral palsy, genetic disorders, spina bifida...all fully represented in Asia in far greater percentages than 1 percent.  Autism percentages are highly manipulable.[/quote]

I am from China, and I came here to the states for college. And, you may not believe what I say, but I never knew or saw any autistic or noticeable special need child growing up there in China. My first child is SN & autistic , DH grew up here telling me that kids are so easily to be labeled with diagnosis here. He is doing fine with mild speech disorder & mild social deficit. Other than that, he looks like other kids. All of teachers are shocked when I tell them he is on spectrum. [/quote]

I’ve taught around the world. A lot of kids with disabilities are hidden at home or in state or religious institutions. I can’t speak about China specifically, but a student’s mom took him back to South Korea when he was diagnosed with autism and many people stopped her and told her that they had a child or adult sibling hidden at home like her son.

+1 I volunteered at a private home in FL where families from Central and South America would bring their children with special needs to give up for adoption, because they said in their country the children may not survive or would get no services/help.  There were 15 or so children when I was there and I met a couple of the birth moms who were visiting. [/quote]
