Oh yes, and one more thing – The first use of the term Autism as a diagnosis (which was, at the time, called a form of childhood schitzophrenia), was in 1911. That is only a little over 100 years ago. It would therefore not be surprising in the slightest for the rate of diagnosis to have increased 100 times since then. You see, in 1911, there was only 1 person diagnosing people as Autistic, there was not a clear definition of the disorder, and it was not widely recognized.
