AUTISM STUDY 

NEW RESEARCH POINTS TO AN INCREASE IN AUTISM DIAGNOSIS RATES AMONG U.S. CHILDREN. 
THE REPORT FROM THE CDC FOUND THAT IN 2022, ONE IN 31 CHILDREN WERE DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM BY THE AGE OF EIGHT.... THAT COMPARES TO ONE IN 36 TWO YEARS EARLIER. THE U-S HEALTH SECRETARY DESCRIBED THE RATES AS SHOCKING.

HE REJECTED THE THEORY THAT RISING RATES ARE DUE TO BETTER DIAGNOSES, CALLING IT AN IDEOLOGY OF EPIDEMIC DENIAL. THE CURRENT AUTISM RATES ARE NEARLY FIVE TIMES HIGHER THAN IN 2000.
