    You do know that they reassigned quite a few definitions of mild retardation as Autism to placate parents who cried that their little darling is not retarded.

    Autism is a genetic disease. There is no cure, nor is it caused by vaccinations. In fact the genetics of the disease has been mapped. http://findalismonkeyinthemiddle.blogspot.com/2008/07/middle-east-families-shed-light-on.html

    In Muslim nations children don’t get their first vaccinations until the age of 5, yet Autism shows up at 2.

    What many of these children have is not Autism, but other illnesses renamed Autism to calm the fears of their parents. A bad move since the treatment of Autism is very different from other illnesses.
