Autism diagnoses at a record level in the US state and no one knows why

According to new data from Rutgers UniversityPreschool children in New Jersey are diagnosed with the highest autism rate in the United States.

The national autistic society defines autism as a permanent developmental disability that affects the way a person communicates and connects with other people and experiences the world around them.

This is not an illness, but rather a spectrum disorder. Due to the nature of this disorder, people with autism all experience different experiences.


As the Center of Disease Control reports, one in 35 New Jersey children has been diagnosed with autism.

The NAS says that "All people with autism share some difficulties, but being autistic will affect them in different ways. "

The diagnosis rate of autism increased from 1% in children born in 1992 to 3% in children born in 2010.

At the present time, one in four 23-year-old boys has been diagnosed with autism in New Jersey, an increase of 43% over four years ago, echoing the disparity between men and women.

The national average for diagnosing autism in America is 13 out of 1,000 children. The New Jersey average is 28 per 1,000 children.

Rutgers University New Jersey Party Director Walter Zahorodny said: "There is no break. I really do not understand why the rate goes up that way. "

Some elements, such as older parents, premature birth and being one of multiple births, have been found to increase the chances of a diagnosis of autism, but it remains to be seen to determine why.

While the greater influence seems to be unknown environmental factors, one thing is certain, rising rates of autism are certainly not correlated with vaccination.
