Is Some of the Autism Epidemic Not Real?July 16, 2008
Interesting possible light on the epidemic autism numbers I hadn't seen pointed out before, by Thomas Sowell. Not to belittle the actual cases whatsoever. But are late talkers, antisocial tykes, and others who turn out to be, in fact, normal, being counted among the swelling autism stats ?
He also points out the growing number of parents urged to say/believe their child has autism even if he probably doesn't in order to receive special treatment services (which he may in fact need, or may not). Nothing momfidenceish about it, just interesting. |
