Rates of autism diagnosis in children are at an all time high - CDC
autside.substack.com
A recent article from Live Science notes that in 2020, the rates of autism diagnoses in children were at an all time high. The high rate is likely due to improved screening and diagnosis, not an epidemic of new cases, the study suggests.
Because the article is basically click bait, the author does not mention how the APA has pushed back. Remember, 2020 was under the regime of the DSM V. Currently, we’re under the DSM V Text Revision. A revision specifically made to get those numbers down.
Yes, if you’re a regular reader, you’ll know that the APA responded to school systems and insurance plans cries. The system believes that accommodations are bad for business. They’re expensive. So, they thought a change was necessary.
My health care provider wanted me to come in for a re-assessment. I told them no, I’m fine.
This is autism awareness / acceptance month. Yet, it still feels as if there is No Place for Autism.
