Yserbius: ““Autism rates went to 1:50”: Shlugged up time and again. We simply got better at diagnosing autism instead of declaring everyone retarded or slow”
The original definition of autism was NON VERBAL Autism which was 1:10,000 in 1970.
Today 1:150 are NON-VERBAL Autistic.
Per 1982 report Prevalence of Mental Retardation 1982 – “Children with I.Q. below 50…prevalence rate approximately 4 per thousand” Pg. 4.
So whether you call it severe retardation or non verbal autism it was 1:250 in 1980 – and that was mostly DOWN SYNDROME. “idiopathic” (no known cause) retardation or autism was 1: 10,000.
And now it is 1:150 NON VERBAL Autism – so autism/retardation rate has SKY ROCKETED and the
FAKE NEWS and CDC Propaganda are LYING!
