Other researchers have their own estimates, but experts say that the center of the Disease Control Center is the most stringent and golden standard.

Here is what you need to know about the new numbers, as well asHealth Plan Robert F. Kennedy SonTo do the “test and massive research” about autism.

What is autism?

Autism is a disability of growth resulting from the differences in the brain. There are many possible symptoms, many of which interfere with other diagnoses. It can include delay in language and learning, social and emotional withdrawal and an unusual need for routine.

For decades, the diagnosis was only given to children with severe problems in social communication or communication and those who have unusual and repeated behaviors.

In the early nineties of the last century, 1 out of 10,000 children were diagnosed with autism. Almost at that time, the term has become an acronym of a group of more moderate conditions known as “autism spectrum disorders”, “and the number of children called them has a form of autism in the balloon.

In the first decade of this century, the estimate rose to 1 in 150. In 2018, it was 1 in 44. In 2020, it reached 1 in 36.

Why the autism numbers rise?

Health officials greatly attribute the increasing number of autism to better identify cases through a wide examination and a better diagnosis.

There are no blood or biological tests for autism. It was diagnosed by issuing judgments about a child’s behavior, and there was an explosion in treatment and services related to children.

Nearly two decades ago, studies conducted by the Center for Disease Control and other childhood vaccines ruled out as a cause of autism. Since then, a lot of research has looked at a variety of other possible interpretations, including heredity, father’s age, mother weight and whether she suffers from diabetes and exposure to some chemicals.

Theoretically, some researchers might be a series of things – perhaps the biological preparation began with a kind of toxic exposure.

Vaccines and autism

Kennedy’s advocates and the fight against childhood vaccines remained, referring to a portfolio called Thimrosal, which is no longer in most childhood or theory vaccines that autism may be the cumulative effect of multiple vaccines. No number of studies, including some CDC authors, have found such links.

Last week, Kennedy said that HHS launches a “huge effort to test and research that will include hundreds of scientists from all over the world” and determinesWhat causes autism in less than six months. He also promised, “We will be able to eliminate this exposure.”

Kennedy and President Donald Trump pointed out to estimate 1 on 31 that the center of diseases control that was released on Tuesday during the White House meeting last week, and Kennedy also reiterated the statistics at a meeting with FDA officials on Friday,

Kennedy’s statement has followed reports that he rented David Gear, a man who has repeatedly called for a link between vaccines and autism, to lead the autistic research effort. The recruitment of Gayer, who was found by Maryland practicing medicine on a child without a doctor’s license, wasThe Washington Post reported for the first time.
