And why.

The website autismspeaks can answer that for you.

Why is autism on the rise?

Autism prevalence has risen due to increased awareness of autism, broader diagnostic criteria for autism, improved screening tools and standardized screening processes. These factors have led to earlier detection and more diagnoses.

Changes in diagnostic criteria: Diagnostic guidelines have evolved from the DSM-III to the current DSM-5, broadening the definition of autism. The modern autism diagnosis now includes people with lower support needs who previously got a different diagnosis or were overlooked entirely.
Improved screening tools and procedures: The development and widespread use of more effective screening tools, such as the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) published in 2001, have enabled earlier and more accurate identification of autism in all young children.
Increased awareness: Greater autism awareness in the public as well as among medical professionals has led to an increase in diagnoses. In 2007, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) formally recommended that pediatricians begin incorporating standardized autism screening at 18- and 24-month well-child visits, leading to a rise in autism diagnosis and improved access to early intervention.

While the impact of other genetic and environmental factors on prevalence is still being studied, they likely account for only a small part of the increase.

Oh they also have information on the link between vaccines and autism too.

Do vaccines cause autism?

There is no connection between vaccines and autism. Autism is often diagnosed around the same time children receive routine vaccinations, which has led to concerns about a connection—but decades of scientific research have confirmed that vaccines do not cause autism. In fact, vaccines play a crucial role in protecting children from serious diseases like measles. Explore the research on vaccines and autism.

The art of the deal

**R650R** · 26th April 2025, 16:00

A few more epic own goals are emerging from the rather bluntly implemented tariffs coupled with chinas war material restrictions.
The new F47 stealth fighter was announced with lines like the enemy will never see it coming. Well even America won’t see it as Boeing is now named on Chinas do not export critical materials to list.
On top of that one of Boeings critical suppliers of aerospace spec fasteners has announced it’s not going to import them anymore due to tariff costs.
This is all on top of Boeing being way behind schedule and ability to deliver even passenger plane contracts.
Meanwhile China plane builder Comac is rapidly scaling up and going to be the next big or only global player as airbus and Boeing keep getting crippled by own western govt policies.
Never mind accepting Chinese made motorbikes, your next big holiday may be flying out on made in China whether you like it or not.

Trump managed to make his mark on the funeral. Apparently he demanded a seat right in front. He didn't need to, he would have been easy to spot, he hadn't even changed for the funeral. He was wearing his usual blue suit and was the only person present not wearing black. He played with his phone briefly then went to sleep.

Der Spiegel reports that German intelligence have arrested two Russian spies. Both had Pete Kegbreath's private cellphone number in their mobiles.

Story goes prince Willy was also in blue, supposed to be a religious thing as neither is catholic?
Melania wore black and a veil and is by all accounts Catholic?

Not sure if its true, but interesting theory.
trump was likely very confused his mate Vlad wasn't there.
