This is a condition which I have an interest in and one that increasingly is affecting more and more young families. In Wales we practically have an epidemic of cases of children being diagnosed with autism. It is so bad that increasingly the diagnosis is taking longer and longer as we simply lack sufficient facilities and human resources to deal with it. Once a child has been given a diagnosis then the state is legally obliged to care for their needs up until the age of 18.
The linked article is one that people are beginning to pay more and more attention to, one that every prospective parent should be aware of.

And more information - this time from a qualified neurosurgeon.

Alex Jones v Qualified Neurosurgeon. You decide....
Splotty, I've also got an interest in the subject as well, as one of my best mates kids has severe autism, you are extremely gullible if you believe that every other kid will have it by 2025. You are a click baiters dream.

When I did stats, the very first lesson, pretty much in the first 10 minutes, they drilled the phrase 'correlation does not mean causation'. It's used again in that neurosurgeon piece.
It comes to mind quite often when I read some of the stuff linked on the Politics forum.
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.
The title was in quotes, if you bothered to look. My interest is in autism as I stated quite clearly. The article was not written by Alex Jones and where is the evidence supporting that it was a neurosurgeon, as clearly the author of BIS's post was not one. Finally what has neurosurgery got to do with autism?
I suggest Dr. Novello is more qualified than a Dr of Computer Science!
Apologies, he is a neurologist.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Novella
My link quotes two doctors - yours quotes a computer scientist.
Mine gave the stats for autism if you had bothered to look at it.
The article on Novella does not show the slightest connection between him and autism, neither do any of the footnotes, or the 66 external references.
In short there is nothing in that article to indicate that he has ever diagnosed even one case of autism.
It's irrelevant as clearly you still have not looked at the stats which are embedded in the body of the article by way of a link.
I'll do it for you if you like.

We've all tackled the stats, correlation does not imply causation. Your mind is already made up - so it is pointless arguing. Needless to say, claims that half of kids will have autism in 2025 is obviously far fetched. People are conveniently forgetting that, if the rule were followed to 2041, all kids will have autism!
The rise in cases of autism is possibly down to a vitamin D deficiency, there is a growing amount of belief in this being the case. Parents won't let their little darlings out in the sun these days without slapping factor 30 sunscreen all over them, big mistake. Growing up in the sixties we played outside from dawn to dusk, nobody had sun screen and autism was rare, it was hardly ever heard of. Kids then got their full amount of vitamin D from the sun plus our parents made us swig cod liver oil, a household essential back then to prevent rickets and a whole load of other illnesses, cod liver oil is rammed with vitamin D.
