Those rates of autism are meaningless unless broken down in to the grades presented.
It's feasible that many cases of mild autism slipped under the radar for a long time but when you're looking at a kid in a special chair that has to be fed with a pig-line, then no, there is obviously no "mistaking" that for anything other than a severe disability.
Women getting preganant much later in life will also increase the rates, but I still have trouble believing that diagnosis and late-life pregnancy account for such a dramatic rise. I've talked to old timers about this and they are adamant that retardation, autism, immune disorders and allergies were virtually non-existent when they were growing up. And this is in a place where everybody knew everybody, so it wasn't like the odd kids were just being hidden in a basement somewhere.
Whatever the case, given the mountain evidence of an overall conspiracy to keep the general population stupid via the enormous amount of blatant lies peddled by the media, why would anyone for a second believe that the considerably more shadowy medical sector would be any less compromised?
It's inescapable that we are not only being deliberately dumbed down by the education sector and the media but that we are also being kept sick by the medical and agricultural sectors which have been run entirely by corporate interests for more than half a century now. Why would we believe that the same corporations that try to warp our psychology would not also try to warp our biology?

The public will judge a man by what he lifts, but those close to him will judge him by what he carries.
