CDC Admits That Autism Rates In The U.S. Are Skyrocketing, Especially In California

The following report is by UC San Diego Today:

Anew report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows the rates and demographics of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are changing in the United States. 

In the latest analysis, 1 in 36 8-year-old children (2.8%) have been identified as having ASD. This figure is higher than the previous estimate published in December 2021, which found a prevalence of 1 in 44 (2.3%) children, and considerably higher than the CDC’s first autism prevalence report published in 2007 noting a prevalence of 1 in 150 (0.7%). 

Prevalence estimates also differed across the 11 data collection sites, ranging from 1 in 43 children (2.3%) in Maryland, to 1 in 22 (4.5%) in California. A second report examined 4-year-old children in the same 11 communities and found similarly high rates of autism (2.2%) in the network overall, and 4.6% in California in particular.

The findings were published on March 23, 2023 in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) Surveillance Summaries. All data were collected in 2020 by the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network, a program funded by the CDC to better understand the number and characteristics of children with ASD in the United States. The network surveys 8-year-old and 4-year-old children in 11 communities across Arizona, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Tennessee, Utah and Wisconsin. The California ADDM site is based at UC San Diego and reports on ASD within San Diego County.

Early Identification In California

In addition to the overall prevalence of ASD, the ADDM Network also tracks the age of first autism diagnosis. The median age of first autism diagnosis for 8-year-olds across the entire network was 49 months, or just over 4 years. However, in California, the age of first diagnosis was much lower at 36 months, or 3 years.

California is unique because of the intense focus on early detection and extensive early services. Some children in San Diego are diagnosed with autism by their second birthday and connected to services quickly thereafter. This is great news because the sooner they can be connected to services and support, the more likely they are to thrive in school and in later life.

Said study co-author Karen Pierce, PhD, professor at UC San Diego School of Medicine, co-director of the UC San Diego Autism Center of Excellence and principal investigator of the ADDM California site.

Racial And Ethnic Disparities

In contrast to all previous CDC reports, wherein white children were identified with ASD more often than non-white children, this is the first year that overall rates of ASD were consistently higher among Black (2.9%), Hispanic (3.2%) and Asian or Pacific Islander (3.3%) children compared to white (2.4%) children. This was also found in California where there were no differences found between racial and ethnic groups in California 8- and 4-year-olds. 

This first-of-a-kind finding is exciting because it suggests a movement towards equity in services for all children on the spectrum.

Said Pierce

Narrowing the Gender Gap

Historically, boys have been diagnosed with autism 4 to 5 times more often than girls. The latest report finds this gap is narrowing, as more girls have been identified with ASD than in years past, and the ratio between boys and girls has decreased in the ADDM Network overall. Specifically, boys are now identified 3.8 and 3.1 times more often for the 8- and 4-year-old cohorts, respectively. This is also the first ADDM Network report in which the prevalence of ASD among girls has exceeded 1%. This trend of increasing identification of females with ASD was also found in California. 

While ADDM is not a representative sample of the entire United States, the report provides significant insight into rates of diagnosis across the country, and highlights the importance of community access to early identification services. For those seeking more information on ASD diagnoses, the CDC’s “Learn the Signs. Act Early” program provides free resources in English, Spanish and other languages to monitor children’s development starting at 2 months of age. Their Milestone Tracker Mobile app can also help parents and caregivers track their child’s development and share the information with their healthcare providers.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

What has happened to the nation’s children is just unfathomable and reprehensible. And what’s more sickening is that the government creates an Autism awareness month and day, even though the problem gets worse as these sickos in charge gaslight the people about caring and acceptance.

And this does not even take into account the number of people and children who are not autistic enough to cross the threshold of being considered autistic. The amount of people that are actually screwed-up and affected is incalculable.

The causes of autism are so obvious yet no one in the medical establishment wants to admit it, lest they lose their salaries and notoriety. But the obvious things are the copious amounts of vaccines these babies and children are injected with, both still in the womb transmitted from the mother, and when they have exited the womb and thereafter. And ever since the Covid-19 “vaccines” were introduced it surely has only made the problem worse, judging by the large increase from the already alarming numbers from just a few years ago.

What used to be considered a “tinhat conspiracy theory” has basically now become quietly acknowledged, but nothing ever changes. I know after I received some mandatory shots when I was in Kindergarten I began to develop a very bad stuttering problem. I was able to get it under control through practice, and eventually getting in much better health helped alleviate some of the problems.

There are of course lifestyle problems as well, such as antibiotics and other medications; heavy metaling poisoning, fluoride, chorine, birth control serums in the water; toxic food with this same poison water, sprayed with pesticides and herbicides, bleached, processed, vegetable seed oils, fake flavors, MSG, dyes, and more; microplastics; 4G, 5G, and WiFi and EMF radiation; and other issues.

America is a toxic waste dump, and we the “free” people are just lab rats ‘they’ experiment on; nothing more than a dirty, disgusting aquarium where the owner sprinkles in just enough fish flakes to keep the fish alive.

[17] The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh. [18] The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.[19] As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.

Proverbs 11:17-19

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
