"Protecting the health and informed consent rights of children
since
1982."
=============================================
Note from BLFisher:
Rick Rollins, the father of an autistic son and the co-founder of
the
M.I.N.D. Institute at University of California-Davis, has prepared
the
following analysis of recent disability statistics from the
California
Department of Developmental Services. The unprecedented increases
in the
numbers of autistic children entering state support programs
contradict
the
assertion by public health officials and many autism researchers
that
autism
is based solely on genetics. Unless there has been sudden genetic
change
occurring in the California population, other scientific
explanations
for the
autism explosion will have to be credibly forwarded by government
health
officials responsible for protecting the public health and safety.
Autism, once thought to be a rare disorder caused by a
"refrigerator
mother"
and most recently thought to be a rare genetic disease, is now the
number
one disability entering California's developmental services system
at an
alarming and accelerated rate, surpassing mental retardation,
cerebral
palsy, epilepsy, and all other conditions similar to mental
retardation.
Prior to the autism epidemic, autism had historically accounted for
3%
of
the intakes into California's developmental services system. Today,
according to the California Department of Developmental Services
(DDS),
not
including PDD, NOS, Asperger's, or any other autism spectrum
disorder,
autism accounts for an amazing 37% of new intakes.
According to figures recently released by DDS, California has
experienced
an all time record number of new cases for a second quarter
reporting
period in professionally diagnosed cases of level one autism, which
again
does not include any of the other autism spectrum disorders. The
addition
of the 664 new children added to the system from April 3 to July 8,
2001
represents the largest number of new cases of autism added to the
system
during a second quarter reporting period in the 32 year history of
California's developmental services system. The increase represents
a
27%
increase in the number of new children added to the system over the
previous (April to July, 2000) second quarter reporting period.
The most recent numbers continue the onslaught of children
diagnosed
with
"full blown" autism and qualified for services in California at the
incredible rate of seven (7) new children a day....seven day's a
week.
Even more horrifying is the fact that through the first SIX MONTHS
of
2001,
California added more children with level one autism to it's system
then
in
any other FULL YEAR from 1969 through 1998 !! If this trend
continues
for
the remainder of 2001, California will add over 2,700 new children
with
autism to it's system in 2001 alone.....A number that would equal
13.5
years worth of new cases of autism, pre-1979-80, or more new cases
of
autism then entered the system for all of 1994,1995, and 1996
combined
!!
Another tell tale sign of the autism epidemic is the age
distribution of
autism compared to the other various disability groups represented
in
California's system. According to information supplied by DDS, the
following information displays in graphic terms the marked
differences
between autism and the other eligible disabilities for both the
percntage
of young and old persons in the system. The percentages represent
the
total
number of cases in each disability category:
AGE DISTRIBUTION
Age AUTISM MR CP EPI
0-13 65% 19% 30% 22%
42 &
Older 4.5% 27% 20% 23%
MR=Mental Retardation
CP=Cerebral Palsy
EPI=Epilepsy
