Trumps stats are off. It's more like 15 per 100,000 in 1980 when there was no diagnostic criteria for it. So yeah if one starts looking with diagnostic criteria it drops from 1-2 in 100,000 to 1 into 10,000 ,1 in 1000 and 1 in 150 by the 2000. 1994 the DSM 4 came out and autism was 1 of 5 disorders that were added. If you don't look for it you won't find it. I was diagnosed with Asperger's in 1980 though at that time that was not autism. Now is since the 2013 and an the DSM5. I can tell you as person diagnosed with it we were always there. I just showed it more as kid. That's why we we have all the late diagnosis now. All that people aged 30-60 getting diagnosed in past 10 years were kids 40 and 50 years ago. We existed. There is no increase. And existed before the MRR vaccine too.

That data shows no change in autism diagnosis in 8 years. 2000 1 in 150 2020 1 in 36 What happened between 2000 and 2020? The DSM 5 came out in 2013. That changed what was in the DSM 4 where autism was one 5 disorders. Asperger's was it's own disorder. In 2013 4 of that 5 were put into 1 diagnosis Autism Spectrum Disorder. Here's some math for you. 150 divided by 4. Divide by 4 becuase 4 disorders became 1 disorder. The result is 38. So we see a slight increase in diagnosis by 2020. Why the huge alarm? It's increase literally from 1-38 to 1-36. Not something to get your panties in bunch over. I'm amazed no one thinks to look at this and just jumps on bandwagon with not critical thinking skills.

Silliest statement ever. Maybe we should stop eating chlorine by sprinkling it on our food. That would kill you by the way. Yet that's exactly RFK jr is saying. NaCl is salt just because it has the element chlorine in does not make it chlorine. Salt is the compound of Sodium and Chlorine. Just like there is mercury in other compounds it does not make it mercury.

@Maggy47 Don't trust, do your own research. I suggest peer reviewed studies. Marketing data is not accurate. An MD is not good source either. Talk to pharmacists. Not just one but few. Quite often I've found the pharmacists as doctors are not experts on pharmaceutical. Be very careful with mental heal medication, that should be last resort not the first thing they try. But prescribe a pill 15 minutes vs hour of therapy costs health care less. In the end the therapy is still needed and now one might have addiction to mental health meds on top of it and they meds didn't help. Don't trust big pharma, they often create drug looking for a problem.
