Yes I will say that I do believe that Autism is a serious condition. However don't think it should be looked at as a bad thing. Instead I think we should look at it as a form of evolution.

The numbers keep increasing becoming an epidemic. The number that increase like the case with Autism can mean a few things.

1: Knowing that Autism has many traits and that some individuals will have some traits and others wont makes it extremely hard to diagnose. OCD, Trouble Speaking, Non Social, and many other peaces of Autism can also be found in other diagnosis. Now here is the hard part about Diagnosing someone with Autism. The person doesn't have to have all traits found in Autism. They just have to have a few of them. This means it becomes much harder to diagnose and easier for doctors to misdiagnose which could be the case, in why numbers are rising.

2: Yet another thing that could result in the increasing numbers in Autism could be the way we live. The way we live these days is much different then it was 20 years ago. And the way people lived 20 years ago was much different then the way people live 20 years before that.

Now several things that have changed in our living over the years is food, technology and social environments.

We tend to eat more food these days that require little to no preparation. These foods have tons of preservatives in them. Such preservatives can be loosely linked to cancer. But could they also be linked to the Autsim Spectrum?

I'm only 28 years old. But when I was 10 it was unheard of to for a 10 year old to have a cell phone. And only the rich kids had TV in their bedroom. Today everyone and their brother has a cell phone, even kids. This is just an example of the technology that we live with today. TV's, Microwaves, Radio's, those little remotes to unlock your car door. They all require radio waves on different frequencies. Cellphones can be thought to cause cancer well maybe so can the Autism spectrum.

Then of course social behavior. I've written a blog in the past about how people talk about how TV can result to violence. In the blog I point out that during the time of when TV started becoming popular was right almost right after World War 2. I'm pretty sure a lot of solders came back from the war and got PTSD. Which caused problems at home. Kids absorbed these problems and when they got older they had different social behaviors. You can think of it as somewhat of a chain of psychological abuse, that we are unaware of. And knowing that babies hear everything inside the mother. This could result in the brain not developing in ways that we would expect.

3: People with Autism tend to process much more information then an average person. An Average person tends to take in 10,000 peaces of information a second and tends to process only about 1,000 peaces of information. And uses only only fraction of what he or she processes. The amount of information that a person with Autism takes in is doubled that. This can become extremely scary for anyone. It also shows why people with Autism act the way they do. Keeping in mind that people with Autism tend to have certain talents that they become obsessed with. The reasons they feel compelled to do such things is because they need to in order to survive. It becomes a coping mechanism, to deal with all of the extra information which is to stimulating. Also knowing that people with Autism tend to take in more information then an average person, and they tend to have certain talents, this points to another interesting theory known as Evolution.

Now your probably wandering how this could be evolution. Well most people when they think of Autism they think of the stimming, non verbal, people. However lets look at Autism in the Spectrum. Their are many forms of Autism, one of which is Aspergers Syndrome. People with Aspergers appear to be normal at first. They do have a lot of the charactistics of Autism but it can't be seen when you just meet the person. They tend to be intelligent as well. Their are other spectrum disorders as well.

Now lets look at evolution as a person who is a scientist trying to create something. He is going to come up with a few complications before he gets what he or she is trying to achieve. He or she does learn from every invention. And eventually gets it just right.

In short we are at a point of evolution where it is the experimental phase. This could be why such numbers are rising.

I was curious if you ever considered changing the
structure of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.

Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images.
Maybe you could space it out better?

I do not understand how people can always be so obtuse.

There is no forgiving nature in people currently.
People are increasingly acrimonius and we cannot
solve problems of any type until we can work together.
We can argue, certainly, but we still have to make decisions and get the job done.
