Autism in Children

A new government study found that 1 in 150 children are autistic. While that rate is far higher than previous estimates, the study didn't look at whether the autism rate has risen.
So the verdict is still out on the important questions: Is there an "autism epidemic"? Are doctors just more adept at diagnosing autism, or is there some environmental explanation for more kids developing autism?
