Autism is becoming much more popular, but possibly for 2 reasons
1) increased amount of mercury from vaccines, leaking into water sources from trash (disposable batteries, etc) and into fishing streams, which is high in food like albacore tuna and swordfish.
2) years ago, children with more than mild to severe autism were labeled as mentally retarded, not autistic. ive seen a lot of kids labeled now as autistic and you wouldnt be able to tell the difference.
wouldn't surprise me if there is a good chunk of the population walking around now who is 20 year old + who would be classified under the autism spectrum
