New Study Indicates More Have Autism. 1 in 91
Not good news on the research front.
A study published Monday in the journal Pediatrics indicates about 1% of children 3 to 17 have autism or related disorder
Results based on national telephone survey of more than 78,000 parents
CDC official: “This is a significant issue that needs immediate attention”
Researchers saying finding could reflect heightened awareness of disorder
Today, 1 in 91 have Autism. Boys were four times as likely as girls to have ASD, and non-Hispanic black and multiracial children were less likely than non-Hispanic white children.
The question on everyone’s ,mind is where will these children go to school and what will become of their lives as they enter adulthood.
The Educational system and job market is already overburdened. We need to act quickly on all fronts, Quickly with intervention, quickly with therapy and services and in providing a better Education opportunity.
Now I must go and update my User Name to 1 in 91, down form 1 in 150 children have Autsim today.
PS – I am not liking what I am hearing about candles recently. Cheap candles are horrible to burn inside. The wick may contain lead and the wax is filled with nasty stuff… So many things correlate with the rise in ASD- computers and the web, cellphones, plastic bottles, Korean cars it could be anything and everything…

I see vaccinations as a complete dead end – there I said it.
I seem to recall a disgruntled employee in the UK spread the rumor to get back at their former pharmaceutical employer..
We need more research into pollutants and those technology’s only recently in the hands of people for the past 20 years.. like Cell Phones, PC’s, Hands Free, Plastic Water Bottles, Plastic pipes, Recycling Waste Emmissions, Food Packaging, Rise in consumption of sushi, MRI’s, make up and lotions- have you ever looked at the contents of “Cocoa Butter Lotion” its like a get together for un pronouncable metals and chemicals- hhhhmmmm, rub this lotion on for no stretch marks…
Its pollution people, its screws up everything and for those who have children without autism, its a matter of time before the pollution breaks down our bodies and affects their offspring…. my 2 cents.. Peace to all and keep the faith so we can help those affected by autism.
