No one ever denied that.
It is however mostly due to differences in diagnosis. It's been steadily increasing since the 1960s when it was first classified as a separate disorder. This should surprise no one. Look it up. It wasn't classified until the 1960s. Hard to diagnose something that doesn't have a name or defined symptoms. Not so? You realize this is a fact right? Mocking it doesn't change that.
And if you claim a link with vaccines then wouldn't this imply that the rate of childhood vaccines has been increasing since the 1960s coinciding with the rates of new autism cases?
In fact we've been doing this for centuries. And if anything childhood vaccinations are on the decline here (due to insane fearmongering). And yet autism continues, unabated.
Corporate manufactured propaganda?? We are expected to believe Autism is not on the rise because the media and Big Pharma says so?
Whoa, I think you've stumbled on something new here. Implying someone is a paid shill because they don't agree with you on the internet. I don't think anyone has ever done that before.
Prove a link between autism and vaccinations. Not simply that it's been increasing. Cancer has been on the rise too. So . . . vaccines cause cancer? Or are you buying in to the corporate propaganda that there is no link? (this is the entirety of your argument).
