reliable autism stats?
Greetings, all, Everywhere in the US media, the current prevalence of autism is typically cited at 1 in 150, or thereabouts. Now, of course this is bad enough, considering that this disease was almost unknown a generation ago... But according to Gallup and Yazbak, "When 1 in 150 is really 1 in 67" By Raymond W. Gallup & F. Edward Yazbak, MD, FAAP http://www.vaproject.org/yazbak/1-in...7-20071005.htm this rate, based on a widely published CDC estimate, is severely underestimated. As Gallup and Yazbak show, the numbers as recently published by the U.S. Department of Education should be seen as far more reliable. [quote] The U.S. Department of Education has recently released the official figures for autism/ASD by age and state for school year 2006-2007, in accordance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act's requirement that comprehensive annual reports be published and presented to the United States Congress. [unquote] And so, it looks like the real rate of autism in the US is close to 1 in 67 -- more than twice of what the CDC says, and of what the corporate media repeats. [quote] ....it is likely that among children born in 2000 who are now registered in U.S. schools, the prevalence rate of autistic spectral disorders is around 1 in 67, on average. Now that would be a catastrophe of unprecedented proportions. [unquote] So it sure seems like, besides professing to be quite ignorant about the cause of autism, the US medical authorities also don't even know how much autism is out there! Ignorance and incompetence, that's modern medicine for you in a nutshell... Yuri. Yuri Kuchinsky -- http://www.globalserve.net/~yuku "The only safe vaccine is one that is never used." -- Dr. James R.

Actually, it was known, but called other things. Autism was identified many years ago, more than a generation. |

Take a look at the definitions of autism; as with many other psychiatric disorders, it is very difficult to identify what's causing them. You can't see anything like you see a brain tumor, you can't measure anything like you can measure your blood pressure, there are no comprehensible risk factors like obesity or smoking. |

Incorrect. There has been a massive broadening of the diagnostic
criteria, recognition that Autism is a spectrum disorder, and significant diagnostic re-assignment. So the CDC reports that 1 out of 6 children in the USA now has some form of developmental disorder is bogus? You dont think that having 1 out of 6 children in your country is a crisis? An epidemic?

You can't see anything like you see a brain tumor, you can't measure anything like you can measure your blood pressure, there are no comprehensible risk factors like obesity or smoking. How about checking the toxic metal load ( Hg and Al ) the child is experiencing? How about the porphorin blood test? These are measurable and testable. You could then add mercury excretion levels and then the levels following chelation challenge. I agree you will never find a particular disease if you never look for the most probable cause. Since Hg and Al cause physical brain damage, a psychiatrist is the last person to look to for real and resonable answers.
