I'm not defending Big Pharma (there are plenty of things wrong with that industry) but Autism is skyrocketing because it is used as a differetial diagnosis for Intellectual Disabilities (nee' Mental Retardation) and Emotional Disturbance. I'm shocked that this is not commonly known and acknowledged.
True enough. I should have just stated developmental disorders because I agree it's not an apples to apples comparison.
There are many other mitigating reasons for some of the issues we face but the sheer magnitude of our crappy overall health is abominable. I can't understand how some still argue that we've got the "Best health care system in the world."
