Hell, it could be something the parents did / ate / abused. Our parents didn't eat as much processed food, but our generation gobbled that shit up. Different chemicals in cigarettes now, high fructose corn syrup... and so on. Much of that our generation consumed in one way or another, and was super-sized along the way. It just so happens that our kids are the generation that has the most cases of autism.

Like I said, I'm not ruling anything out. But I have to lean on the idea that the main reason for the large increase is made made.
if it is man-made and not entirely due to better awareness and diagnosis, it seems like it would be due a variety of things working together to manifest into the illness. It does seem that if the U.S. has better detection then the world would also. just guessing, I don't disagree with the observation re: the # of autistic but I'm not seeing the link to vaccines, just based on my layperson's view.
