Autism affects one in 45 children in the United States, almost twice the rate from a few years ago, said a survey Friday that uses a new approach to assess the frequency of the developmental disorder.
The latest figures may reflect a more accurate picture of autism spectrum disorder, said the report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics, and so does not necessarily mean that there is a ballooning autism epidemic.
In fact, the study found that while autism spectrum diagnoses are more frequent than in the past, the overall number of people affected by neuro-developmental problems has not risen, but has remained steady over time.
"What we call an autism spectrum disorder now is a much wider group of symptoms than what we called autism in the past so I think that captures a larger number of children that might have received other diagnoses in the past," said Katie Walton, an autism researcher who was not involved with the CDC survey.

in a few years it will be 1 out of 1 has autism.
Pediatricians should have to provide labels and take the time to discuss their own circumstance regarding vaccines..and held responsible
The rate of the Children they treat that come down with it should be public record ..and if they take cash inducements from Pharmaceutical Companies to use them.
So much phony theory is advanced as science by Government about anything ..we need the data to prove the vaccines are safe and not just another method of selection
This "vaccine" business is on a par with "global warming".
Don't get your little darlings vaccinated. Darwinism at its finest.
If you want the answer look at their parents "party" history.
