Episode #052 - National Council on Severe Autism Webinar, February 15, 2024

National Council on Severe Autism Webinar, February 15, 2024, featuring: Jill Escher, Escher Fund for Autism Walter Zahorodny, PhD, Rutgers University This webinar examines the most important and poorly understood phenomenon in autism — the sharply escalating rates over the past several decades. The speakers explain: • The overwhelming evidence for a true increase in autism in the U.S., including specifically California (Escher) and New Jersey (Zahorodny), an increase that is likely between 2,000-5,500% • The evidence for a true increase in other high-income countries (and lower rates in lower-income countries) • The lack of evidence for commensurate autism rates in older birth cohorts • The flaws in the arguments that certain studies (eg, Hansen or Brugha) show there has been no increase in autism • Autism rates are still increasing, and no one understands why • The tired, unsupported rationalizations that the autism increase stems from awareness and diagnostic shifts • An emerging hypothesis that could help explain at least part of the surge, and the 6 key findings from autism research • The reasons for widespread denial of the increase in autism
