The Rise of Autism

Autism has become one of the biggest obstacles in California's development system. Today, the increase in autism has increased by 10 to 17% every year. (Madeleine 3) "This illness was first determined by pedophilic psychologist Leo Kanner of Johns Hopkins University in 1943" (Little 2). Autism is a disease that is usually found within the first three years. According to the American Autism Association, one in 166 people has been diagnosed with autism, becoming more common than childhood cancer, diabetes, and AIDS.

The increase in autism is very easy to explain. Basically, what we call "autism" today has changed dramatically in the past 50 years. The simplest example is the symptom of what was formerly called asperger's syndrome. It is very similar to autism, but its severity is low and there are also several symptoms. Diagnosis is now completely eliminated, and children diagnosed with Asperger 's syndrome in the 1980' s and 1990 's are considered to have low autistic spectrum. In other words, actual morbidity has not changed, but it was diagnosed as "autism". This disease. Essentially, as we found that treatment for autism was effective for diseases that were previously thought to be totally independent, the label of 'autism' to more children it changed.

Increased diagnosis of autism is due in part to changes in the definition of autism. In general, the definition of autism has become more detailed and comprehensive, so more children today are diagnosed with this disease. Indeed, the same symptoms as today considered as "autism" may lead to various diagnoses such as mental retardation several decades ago. Interestingly, the city of Yokohama in Japan has not administered any MMR vaccine to any child born after 1993. However, even among these unvaccinated children, the prevalence of autism is increasing. Therefore, even if the scientist continues to deal with the exact cause of autism, it remains one thing. No one finds a scientifically sound and robust relationship between vaccine and autism.
