The number of children diagnosed with autism or related disorders has grown at what many call an alarming rate. "In the 1970s and 1980s, about one out of every 2,000 children had autism."
The statistics are far more dramatic. If you average years from the 1970's to 1989 you might get a figure like "one out of every 2,000 children had autism".
Today, the CDC estimates that one in 150 8-year-olds in the U.S. has an autism spectrum disorder, or ASD.
Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired social interaction, verbal and non-verbal communication, and restricted and repetitive behavior. Parents usually notice signs in the first two years of their child's life. These signs often develop gradually, though some children with autism reach their developmental milestones at a normal pace and then seem to regress.
The actual cause and elements of Autism are being overthrown by Autistic people who have learned to communicate and are telling us what the problem really is.
Carly was a twin. Her case and many others like Mary Temple Grandin are offering us greater insight into this growing problem if we are willing to see the whole truth.
The diagnostic criteria require that symptoms become apparent in early childhood, typically before age three. It has long been presumed that there is a common cause at the genetic, cognitive, and neural levels for autism's characteristic triad of symptoms. However, there is increasing suspicion that autism is instead a complex disorder whose core aspects have distinct causes that often co-occur. The increase in Autism rates clearly demonstrates that genetics cannot be the source of the problem and doctors were wrong.
Mary Temple Grandin is an American professor of animal science at Colorado State University, world-renowned autism spokesperson and consultant to the livestock industry on animal behavior. She was diagnosed with autism and is someone who "thinks in pictures". Grandin sees the value in every individual's ability to make a contribution.
She talks about different kinds of minds and ways of thinking working together to produce real accomplishments. She worries about modern education creating a one size fits all like Common Core. She is concerned that our country is eating its educational seed corn with these narrow minding approaches to education and mental development.

The Amish and Mennonites have no autism in their communities. They do not vaccinate.
Here is a small sampling of the information available to connect mercury (in vaccines) to autism.
