US Autism Rate Is Now 1 in 44

STORY AT-A-GLANCE
In the mid-1960s, the autism rate was 1 in 10,000. By 2012, it had shot up to 1 in 88. In 2016, it was 1 in 68, and now it’s 1 in 44 8-year-olds
Rates vary widely from state to state. In California, where incidence is the highest, 1 in 26 8-year-olds has a diagnosis of autism. Missouri, which has the lowest incidence, has a rate of 1 in 60
Improved diagnosis alone cannot explain this trend. Genetics play only a minor role, and even then, primarily only when combined with toxic exposures
Glyphosate appears to be a leading contributor to autism
Other contributing factors include maternal antibodies associated with autoimmune diseases, maternal immune system overactivation and mitochondrial dysfunction (typically involving electron transport chain overactivity). Mitochondrial abnormalities are suspected of being involved in as many as 80% of cases
