I guess having the cash to pursue the diagnosis helps, which could account for why some third world country does not have as many autistics.

I do believe modern testing and diagnosis procedures have increased the numbers some on a global scale, but it's not just third world countries with lower rates. Look up the stats on other first world countries. They have the same testing ability as the USA. However, not all of them push the same vaccines. There is endless amounts of information out there, look it up.
It very well may NOT be vaccines, it could be anything, but with the data that is out there, it's a little hard for me to rule it out as a possibility. Something is causing it, and the increase in American children particularly is alarming. 1 in 1000+ in most other first world nations vs 1 in 70 in the USA. That is simply staggering, and I find it hard to believe better diagnosis is the cause for such a mind boggling number, and only in the USA. Unless of course, it's in a doctor's financial benefit somehow to label more children as autistic. And I don't rule that out either.
It could just be diet, or lack of proper nutrients before a certain age. You personally know what a difference that makes to the body. I don't rule that out either. Until they actually know for 100% certainty what causes it, I've left my mind open to any and all reasons, as that is the only logical way to look at a problem that is without a solution. I'm certainly not going to simply put blind trust in any government agency or health organization that is funded by or lobbied by big pharma.

It's.... silly, man. Come on.

Do you honestly think that with those multiple court cases, with MILLIONS of dollars at sake, and the legal precedent it may create, that experts from both sides of the fence were not brought in? Or do you believe they let the local sheriff make the final call?
