Do you think the Greys are responsible for the dramatic rise in autism?(from 1 in 10,000 in 1996 to 1 out 166?

Question

in 2006)

Answer 1

Greys?

Those stats from many years ago which included only classic autism. Even then, many with autism were just diagnosed "retarded" or someother general label. Most experts agree that the actual incidence rate of classic autism 30 years ago was more like 1 out of 1,000.

The current stats (1 out of 166) include Asperger's & other high-functioning forms of autism which were never diagnosed as autistic until the late 80s. The now compose about 70% of those with autism. Classic, or "Kanner's" autism occurs at about a rate of 1 out of 500.

So an accurate comparison would the old incidence rate of 1 out of 1,000 to the new rate of 1 out of 500. That means the rates have doubled, but that is a far cry from the rate increasing 60 times over.

Answer 2

Doubtful - while the ultimate aims of the Greys are unknown, their behavior to date is not consistent with either destruction or weakening of the human race - both of which they are thought to be capable of in short order if they wished. The primary hypothesis appears to be genetic manipulation for unknown purposes; the fact that reports of the more invasive and horrific 'experiments' are decreasing suggests that the Greys may be nearing the end of their investigative phase and may either implement their plan or make contact soon.

That said, evidence suggests that it may not be the incidence but the diagnosis of autism which is on the increase; other hypotheses suggest that the increasing atomization of society and replacement of human interaction with electronic communication may be impairing normal social attachment skills and/or inciting behaviors which mimic autism. The fact that a larger percentage of reported cases are responding to behavioral therapy (as opposed to medication or not responsive at all) supports this hypothesis that 'acquired' autism-like syndromes may be responsible for much of the rise, as opposed to 'inherent' or genetically based autism.

Answer 3

Autism may not be on the rise, our understanding of what is autism is just getting better and so the numbers of who is autistic have risen.

Unlike pregnancy you can be a little bit autistic. And, it has nothing to do with being stupid, the range of IQ's of autistic people are the same as other people.

Answer 4

No, I think it's a combitation of better diagnosis, over diagnosis and bad nutrition education. We went through a phase where everyone was taught that all fat was bad. Unfortunately, the brain is mostly fat and infants through toddlers need a higher intake because their brain is developing very fast. Many indoctorinated mothers pruned out fats form the diets (e.g., skim milk, etc). Frankly, they ought to sue the school districts and colleges (not to mention the teachers and faculty) who propergated that garbage.

Answer 5

Nope! It's the dang chemicals they are putting in our food supply! It's the antibiotics and hormones they are feeding the animals which we eat.
Look at mad cow disease caused by feeding beef to cows. Next time your shopping read the labels of the stuff you purchase see how many items contain Benzoate, it's a cancer causing agent found in cigarettes, used as a perservate in our can food and diet soda.

Answer 6

No, the increased use of thimoseral preservative in vaccines is a more reasonable causative factor in autism rather than hypothetical extraterrestrial involvement. Why would aliens want to make humans even dumber than we are now?
