Autism

A friend of mine told me today that there may be something wrong with his beautiful little curly-headed nephew. I guessed autism, and was right. I've heard outrageous statistics on the percentage of children who are autistic these days. Here's a few:

In California, one child is diagnosed with autism every three hours, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.**
1 in 250 births*
Autism increase in growth during the 1990s: 172%*

This friend speculated that the amount of shit we've put into our bodies since the dawn of processed foods is now taking its toll on our prodigy.
I think he's on to something.
