Sorry for the delay in responding

Why has the autism rate skyrocketed in the past 25 yrs?

If you are looking for leads about how you can try to improve your health, you might find something at the links below.

There is much more from Haley on Youtube

Since surveyed parents who have used heavy metal detox (chelation) tend to report encouraging improvements, I suggest that you look into that as a part of your attempt to improve health.

Remember if your insurance co does not pay for detox--most likely doesn't--don't expect your doctor do want to do anything about it. there are other factors discouraging doctors from messing with detox.

Other factors that might also be contributing to the combination of symptoms called "autism".

Are vaccines another contributing factor?
Are powerful individuals in government and big business trying to cover up the link?

If you'd like to learn more about detox/chelation you could check out the chelation groups here and at Yahoo groups. There are a number of young people with high level autism or aspergers in teh groups.

well, perhaps the adult adhd/add/autists could provide more useful information, than worrying parents.

when looking back, i see clear hallmarks, clear signs of infection..

its a story to tell. the symptoms ever changing but still the same.

if you want to research autism/adhd then look for adults.
