Of course the government’s role in the rise in this, as well as other less sensational, disease proliferation should be mentioned in light of its abdication of its responsibilities to ensure the safety of the citizenry via strict oversite of environmental quality. Turning over virtually all important quality of life decisions to the profit/greed driven private sector ensures the misery of the many for the benefit of the few and their governmental agents!

It would be a very good idea to stop treating autism and its related characteristics as an illness or a deficiency.  Too bad this study comes at us courtesy of the Center for DISEASE Control, published in The MORBIDITY AND MORTALIEY Weekly Report.
  Publicity of categorizations like this doesn’t help a bit in understanding autism and related symptoms, and professionals themselves are admitting that “perhaps they are asking the wrong questions” in their investigation in the case of Asperger’s-related symptoms.  Why habituate a prejudice?
  I advocate that instead of emphasizing “finding a cure” scholars take a look at the possible relationship between the increasing lack of empathy in modern societies as a whole, and try to account for causes, such as starvation, war, general bowing in the direction of violence, and the structure of and tolerance for increasingly mechanistic societies as possible CAUSES of genetic alterations such as autism. And after that, if there is any connection between such societies and the alteration of genes.
  Also recognize the fact that autistic complexes are often accompanied by superior abilities in certain fields of endeavor such as math, music and cryptographic and digital abilities. What does that tell us, if anything?
  Research should not always be steered in the direction of “curing an illness.” Societies as a whole deserve more systematic investigation. What makes them “tick?” Obviously, we have only the most inexact ideas!
