re: #103 funky chicken

My uncle is one of them. He lives in a group home for “mentally retarded” adults. He’s one the bad end of the autisitic spectrum. There are lots of folks just like him that most people never saw or noticed because they weren’t ever enrolled in public schools.

So we should be able to actually find them and prove your hypothesis, right?

Funny how when my mother was in nursing school in the 60’s, autism was considered a one in 10,000 event. My mother was told she might actually see one case in her entire career as a nurse.

Last month, the incidence was pegged at just over one in one hundred.

Better detection and classification?

Bullshit.
