Research Finds Vaccines Are Not Behind the Rise in Autism. So What Is?

Diagnosis rates?<p>My wife got diagnosed as an adult where she never would have been as a child - quiet, academically bright, had a group of friends. Had increasing stress at work and depression, saw a psychologist who asked her lots of questions and then said this mat come as a shock but have you ever wondered if you have this? Did all the tests and voila. Seeing her parents it becomes very obvious how strongly it is genetic because in retrospect where I used to think her parents were a little odd, with a bit more understanding it’s clear that they both have traits.

The difference in focus between the linked article and this one is startling to me.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.thefp.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;the-autism-surge-lies-conspiracies" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.thefp.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;the-autism-surge-lies-conspiracies</a><p>It really is important to understand that increased incidence of autism is not, repeat NOT, substantively attributable to an increase in diagnosis. Not at the rates we are talking about.<p>And there is a bias within polite society against talking about how disabling severe autism is.

I can&#x27;t read the article. Could someone please point to the research that they are referring to?

TIL autism has been linked to environmental factors like metabolic syndrome during the first trimester of pregnancy, air pollution, and pesticide exposure. Some of these frequently co-occur with specific gene mutations. [1][2] There&#x27;s a good argument that everyone has more exposure to everything on that list nowadays. Increased diagnoses would then make a lot of sense.<p>Teasing out the specifics of how much each of these contribute and separating that out from possible confounders like greater screening and others does seem like a tough study to design.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.medicalnewstoday.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;environmental-autism#environmental-factors-influencing-autism" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.medicalnewstoday.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;environmental-auti...</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.niehs.nih.gov&#x2F;health&#x2F;topics&#x2F;conditions&#x2F;autism" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.niehs.nih.gov&#x2F;health&#x2F;topics&#x2F;conditions&#x2F;autism</a>

Other research claims the opposite. I’m confused.

These studies are not well formed. There is an easier way to test for vaccine damage leading to autism. Compare children with any dosage of vaccines vs children that never received any dosage of a vaccine. The Amish in a very good study found that no Amish born children had autism. A rate of 0. Compared to those children that had autism all have been vaccinated. This enough is for me to know that while one or a single dose does not lead to autism possibly (though i have doubts here too) that many dosages of various vaccines combined in certain ways may lead to autism. This causal path is complex, for certain, but it is clear it is a non zero probability that you will be autistic (and if you watch that new show, telepathic).
