WSJ: What’s Behind the Rise in Autism? wsj.com/opinion/whats-behind… states: Autism rates are not really going up We say: While skeptics are free to believe autism rates are not increasing, the burden of proof now lies with those who refute the mountain of data stating otherwise

WSJ Author asserts financial incentives have led to kids receiving ASD diagnoses who don’t have it. So old # s may be true, but the current ones are inflated. Hmm.. If true >2/3 of all ASD diagnoses done by professionals on 8yr olds would have to be false.. Here’s the math: CDC ASD prevalence for 8yr olds -2006: 9 per 1000 -2020: 28 per 1000 Now if we assume 2006 is correct, then 19 of the 28 eight yr olds diagnosed in 2020, didn’t really have it. (67.8%) So the vast majority of modern diagnoses are false? But wait, the author says that the growth is due to law changes in 1973 and 1990, so she's implying that even the 2006 number must be severely inflated. But, uh oh, that means that even >67% of all ASD diagnoses done in 2020 by professionals on 8 year old children are false. Really? We’re supposed to believe this? wsj.com/opinion/whats-behind…

DEVELOPMENTAL REGRESSION is now increasingly accepted as part of the case history of some with autism. A new study has reported finding a potential biological signature associated with regressive-onset autism as compared to non-regressive onset.tinyurl.com/2fvv5692

Our latest (peer-reviewed) paper is out... Is Autism Inborn And Lifelong For Everyone? dovepress.com/is-autism-inbo… Heterogeneity is key. Regression is real. And for whatever reason(s), 'lifelong' is not necessarily an accurate description for every single experience of autism.

"My hope is that some of that additional research funding will be directed beyond genetics to newly emerging areas like the microbiome and the immune system that have been historically underfunded and hold great promise." -John Rodakis told Newsweek newsweek.com/autism-cares-ac…

Autism Act Doesn't Do Enough to Address Diagnosis Gender Gap, Say Experts

The Autism CARES Act of 2019 will see funding go towards people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their families—a package that will be spread out over a five-year period.

NBC Gets it right! "There are still undefined environmental risks which contribute to this significant increase,..“We need more research into non-genetic triggers for autism." Is the conversation finally starting to change? nbcnews.com/health/health-ne… #autism #autismawareness

More kids than ever have autism, new survey shows

Awareness alone can't account for the increase, researchers say

Listen to, don't dismiss the parents spectrumnews.org/news/parent…

Parents beat clinicians at detecting autism signs in infants

Parents who have one child with an autism diagnosis can more accurately spot signs of the condition in their younger child at 12 months of age than clinicians can.
