It is true that there are probably kids whoa re borderline Asperger's who might be better off not having that diagnosis. But autism is n the rise for several reasons.
One) in the early days of vaccination campaigns, nurse sand other staff was carefully instructed to take precautions and administer the vaccines in safe ways. Among such protocols: shaking up the vial of vaccine material before each injection, so any toxins are evenly distributed. And staff knew better than to vaccinate a sick child,. Back in the Nineties, there was a woman who had twins, who made it n to Senator Burton's hearing on vaccination. One year old twin got the MMR vaccine and was fine His brother was sick the day of the vaccine and became autistic. That should never have happened. Even if you rule out the causal factor of vaccines and autism, there are hundreds of animal studies that prove that vaccinating any sick mammal increases the likelihood of cancer.Vets are careful not to do this, and they are only dealing with animals. If only pediatric staff was as thorough!
Two: Overuse of noxious chems. People in this modern day and age have a propensity for using toxic materials. I was a caregiver to an autistic young adult. His parents had for decades routinely sprayed the massive redwood decks (over 1500 feet of redwood deck surrounded their mansion) with a heavy duty copper and other heavy metals spray, probably including arsenic, to preserve the deck. My husband, who has no usual problems with being around various poisons, was so afflicted by the chemicals in the air on the days that the house was sprayed - he wouldn't come over to visit when that was happening. I can only imagine the effect on a fetus in utero.
