The rise in Autism is a slow-motion catastrophe. From 1 in 25000 in the 1950s, to one in 7000 in 1970, to 1 in 33 in 2018. The prevalence is on target to being 1 in 5 by 2030 and all indications are that it will continue to rise. Treatment options should address the root causes, not just the behaviours.
