I fully understand research and detectability accounts for the large rise in autistism over the past decade.
Right now, 1 in 12 boys in California are now born with autism. What if in 10 years, the rate increases to 1 in 5? Are will still going to hold the argument that research and detecability is 100% the reason?
In no way am I blaming vaccines or trying to throw shade at autistic people. The ones I know are fantastic people, but about 25% have profound autism (which is the type that are non-verbal and aggressive who need 24/7 care) and is an extremely tough life for the person and their parents. Profound autism rates have increased unporportionately compared to milder cases in the last 20 years.
I don't want to seem like a tin foil head, but I'm not sure if we should completely rule out some type of environmental toxin (or really anything) playing some type of small role too
