The following is an excerpt from The Vaccine Reaction.
A new study published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics found that the number of children and adolescents diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the United States has risen to 1 in 30.
The study, which was conducted by public health researchers at Guandong Pharmaceutical University in China, looked at data from the annual National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) maintained by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
It estimated there was a 52 percent increase in ASD diagnoses among children and adolescents in the U.S. during 2017-2020.
Using data from the NHIS, 2.46 percent of children and adolescents in the U.S. were diagnosed with ASD.
By 2016, this had increased to 2.76 percent, then it declined to 2.29 percent in 2017. As of 2020, the number was up noticeably to 3.49 percent.
The 1 in 30 figure also represents a marked increase when compared to last year’s CDC estimate of 1 in 44 American children with ASD. However, that analysis published by the CDC in November 2021, was limited to data in 2018 from about a dozen states in the U.S. and only focused on eight-year-old children, so the study published in JAMA Pediatrics would appear to be more comprehensive, more current and, consequently, more accurate.
The study in JAMA Pediatrics did not comment on what may be causing the continuing rise in ASD diagnoses, but there has been much speculation that the trend may largely be attributed to greater public awareness of the disorder and also changes in diagnostic criteria.
Genetics has also occasionally been brought up as a possible contributing factor.
There is another belief, though, that the autism epidemic is real and that it may indeed be biological and tied to environmental exposure factors.
In a recent article, Dr. Joe Mercola wrote:
[I]mproved diagnosis alone cannot explain this trend. One in 30 children and adolescents were not autistic in the 1980s, with or without diagnosis. No, something is going on. One or more environmental factors are clearly having a devastating impact on our children.
Glyphosate appears to be a leading contributor to autism. Other contributing factors include maternal antibodies associated with autoimmune diseases, maternal immune system overactivation and mitochondrial dysfunction (typically involving electron transport chain overactivity). Mitochondrial abnormalities are suspected of being involved in as many as 80% of cases.”

But again, the study in JAMA Pediatrics does not address the issue of causality as it relates to ASD, it focuses on prevalence of the disorder and breaking it down by factors such as gender and family income.

UNTOUCHABLE SUBJECTS. FEARLESS, NONPARTISAN REPORTING.?
Then why no mention of the aluminum adjuvant in vaccines?
Autism is the least of our worries with hundreds of millions having taken the clot shots. All-cause death rate is skyrocketing. Gee- I wonder why?
Be curious to know the ages and maternal status of the biological mother. 45 year old first time mothers are risking fetal abnormalities too.. Sorry, facts matter.
How about the huge increase in vaccines that children are mandated to receive?!!
Don’t forget the elephant in the room as a cause – the infamouse “V” word that (like the N word) can not be spoken. Glyphosate and the GMO food that it helped created, along with the unsual increase in the number of childhood “Vs” that followed after the pharmceutical companies were given immunity from lawsuits for damages, both seem to follow the same growth pattern as autism cases over the past 40 years. Coincidence? Do children really need 16 flu shots before they are even 7 years old?
No mention of early childhood vaccines. I know of two peer reviewed publication that show that non-vaccinated children are healthier than vaccinated children. Look at the early childhood vaccine schedule and you will wonder why all these are required. The only vaccines I had as a child were small pox and polio. I had the mumps, rubella (german measles), chicken pox and what ever else most children had in the 1960s. When I looks under the vaccine hood and the potential side effects it makes me wonder why are we doing this to our children.
It’s a combination of things, like chemtrails, GMOs, cell phone radiation (both towers and the phones/tablets), WiFi in homes and businesses. Smart utility meter radiation is also playing a part.
you left out “vaccines”
Agreed, cell phones have been shown to break down the blood brain barrier. This could cause the brain to be contaminated with any number of things, including heavy metals that could be in the vaccines.
Yes, it’s what I call the “kitchen sink” explanation. Also: Forcing vaccination for Hepatitis B FOR BABIES (at least in California) is a very bad idea but the “experts” shout down any critics, the Big Pharma-controlled news a partner in crime.
You can go on Youtube and view the videos by MIT biochemist Dr. Seneff regarding her theory of causation by way of glyphosate.
It’s the vaccines. I have no doubts about that whatsoever!
Legalization of marijuana.
I would be willing to bet that 80% of those diagnosed are of a particular political leaning. It’s what they eat and don’t eat.
Read “Virus Mania”, Jan 2020 for truth. In the mid 1980s autism rate was 1 in 2500, in the mid 1990s the rate was 1 in 35. All caused by vaccines given to kids. Many vaccines at once.
VACCINES ARE THR CAUSE – SEE VAXXED THE MOVIE
A friend of mine showed me a video of his 18 month old son who was jumping around laughing and singing in front of a large wall mirror. My friend took his son for vaccine shots(2009) and after getting the vaccines, his son stopped talking from that day on. His son is now autistic, non verbal, etc.
It is the vaccines. Look at the curve from 1986-present in the number of vaccines children are required to receive and how many more children are now diagnosed as autistic, especially after receiving the shots…
Why isn’t there a peep in the article about the REAL cause, Big Pharma/CDC’s ever-increasing childhood vaccine regimen?
A stunning omission.
I always thought it was genetic.. runs through my whole family, and now, both my kids.. The cause? Not really sure.. maybe it will turn out to be a great thing? Even though times have been hard with my autistic kids, I would not change them in a million years.. Their ability to think in 10D dimensions is such a blessing., among many other wonderful things they can do, and ways they process information and think, which is very different from other kids not on the spectrum. They, and many in my family, never felt we “fit into” this world.. maybe we don’t, and never will….. and honestly, that’s okay.
I just took an online autism test
.https://www.clinical-partners.co.uk/for-adults/autism-and-aspergers/adult-autism-test/adult-autism-test-results/results
It showed I had a high likelihood for autism.
I think the criteria/definition of autism may have changed significantly.
I’m 58 and spent the majority of my career in sales.
No one has ever connected me to autism.
Anyone else wonder why, find it suspicious, have any red flags that China is conducting a study like this on the US? Also curious, are other countries-UK, Australia, European countries, Russia, etc. seeing the same figures as the US?
Just another benefit from childhood vaccinations.
Yes, for sure.
We need a vax for it. The new definition of Vax doesn’t prevent it, doesn’t cure it, but never let a manufactured crisis go to waste.
Thanks to Satan’s Deep State, it will soon be 1 out of 2.
