The author of the article is certainly not a neurosurgeon, the two cited doctors specialties are not revealed in the article. In the meantime there is an article dealing with glyphosate that has been featured in The Lancet.

What is not in dispute, regardless of causation, is the rise of diagnosis of ASD from 1 in 2,000 in the 80's and 90's to 1 in 150 now. This statistic applies in the USA but similarly there have been equally dramatic rises across Europe within the same time period. I fully understand that the method of diagnosis has changed but that change was some years back and since then incidents of children being diagnosed with ASD have continued to rise.
