Quote:In recent years, cases of autism have risen. The Center for Disease Control announced in 2021 that the rate of autism in the U.S. during 2018 was 1 child in 44. This is a notable rise from rates given in Scientific American, for 2016 (1 in 68, though other sources claim an even-higher 1 in 54 by age 8), 2008 (1 in 88) and 2000 (1 in 150). Moreover, this trend of rising autism, which dates back to the early 1990s, is a global occurrence not confined to the United States. Prevailing theories suggest that the rise is largely due to increased awareness and diagnosis of autism rather than a massive increase in overall occurrences of autism. However, autism is more likely in babies with older parents, who are more common in today's world, and in babies born prematurely, who survive more often now than in previous eras.

I always thought America had the largest population of autistic children. I never thought past America. I am looking at autism with a new set of eyes.

Quote:I have a 700 page book published in 1994 by the American Academy of Pediatrics referred to as the authoritative guide on all things developmental, birth to age 5, that doesn't even have the word in it. Apparently, they didn't think Autism was an important developmental problem at the time, in spite of the fact they changed the criteria to supposedly make it more encompassing that very year. (That's what we're told anyway.)
 
Interestingly however, my psychology book published 3 years earlier did indeed mention Autism. That's the picture of page 618 (click image to enlarge) and this is what it says:
 
"Autistic disorder is rare, occurring in fewer than five children per ten thousand births, but with few exceptions (Lovaas, 1987), it leads to a life of marginal adjustment, often within an institution."

Whatever happened, happened globally. Which makes it even more suspect. 

I don't pretend to know the answer, but I think it is something that we should be looking at very closely.

If it is natural, then mother nature is trying to tell us something. If it is the result of man screwing up, which we are so damn good at, then it is not something that should be swept under the rug.

We spend so much time, energy,  money, and angst, over BS, yet we bury our heads in the sand, when it is really important.

Quote:"The evolution of the brain is the most obvious example of how we evolve to adapt," he explained. "But in the modern era, we know that in the human genome there are all kinds of interactions that allow human organisms to have plasticity -- the capacity to adjust is itself an evolved characteristic."
Man had two key advantages, he said: our brains and our capacity for culture.
"Our brains are essentially social brains," he added. "We share information, we create and pass on knowledge. That's the means by which humans are able to adjust to new situations, and it's what differentiates humans from our earlier ancestors, and our earlier ancestors from primates."

That vial contains 0.5 mL, which is 1/2000th of a liter. The label specifies the aluminum concentration as "up to" 100 mcg/L. 1/2000th of 100 mcg is about a half of a nanogram. Folks probably get more aluminum exposure just walking through their kitchen.

Still, I've never understood why they use "pharma grade" vitamin K, when they could just use natural phytonadione. It's cheap, and it's freely available without a prescription, unlike vitamin K. It's what I used a few years ago in an emergency, and it worked like a charm to restore blood clotting ability. in the face of a warfarin overdose by a loved one who refused medical treatment for it. "Phytonadione" is just the non-pharma name for the same thing, vitamin K, and it's sourced almost entirely from plants. Back then it could be picked up OTC at GNC, no prescription needed, and as far as I know it still can be today.
