There's nobody in charge. No cabal other than capitalists who have sought to increase their profits at any expense. Poisoning the air, raping the wilderness, polluting the oceans and turning the whole environment into a crap heap.
World age-standardised (AS) incidence rates for cancers in children (girls and boys combined) increased by 15% in the UK between 1993-1995 and 2015-2017.[1-4] The increase was of a similar size in girls and boys.
Over the last decade in the UK (between 2005-2007 and 2015-2017), AS incidence rates for cancers in children (girls and boys combined) increased by 10%.[1-4] In girls AS incidence rates increased by 12% and in boys rates increased by 8%.

Reclassification and awareness is more likely the reason for an increase in Autism statistics.
I seriously doubt that. People say similar things about cancer "oh, cancer is only more common now because people live longer".
But that doesn't explain why cancer is on the rise in younger people does it?
The modern diet is the most likely culprit imo.
The OP could be right though, maybe it is vaccines that have increased the incidence of autism. Who really knows for sure?
What i do know for a fact, is that the predicament we're in as a race is a consequence of allowing money to come before anything else. And until that changes, nothing much else is going to change.
Do you have an autistic child?
There is a specific Autism that affects what appears to be a normal developing child around the age of 3 — that coincides with vaccinations.
Don’t use coincidence of timing — to claim false fact.
So unimmunized children don't have that specific type of autism as well? Surely few exceptions are required to disprove the rule.

So you're tying organic food sales to autism incidence? First time I've heard that one lol. But I'd be interested in reading the evidence if you have any?
No. Maybe you should check your O rings.

These trends include non-malignant brain, other central nervous system and intracranial tumours because they account for a relatively high proportion of cases in this age group. However trends for these tumours are unreliable pre-2000s, and largely reflect improved data collection rather than true increased incidence. Percentage increases since the late 1970s and early 1990s are very slightly smaller if these tumours are excluded.

I think he's making the point that correlation does not equal causation, and he's done a fine job of it. Thing is, other data could be added to the graph which would show great measures of correlation indicative but not definitive, that there is a link between the sorts of issues I highlighted in the OP. I will make an effort to pad out the thread with data supporting my thoughts tomorrow.

Non-malignant = cancer?
Although most benign tumors are not life-threatening, many types of benign tumors have the potential to become cancerous (malignant) through a process known as tumor progression.[6] For this reason and other possible negative health effects, some benign tumors are removed by surgery.[7]

I don't believe i said that vaccines weren't the cause of autism did i? What i actually said was that the OP could be right. But i don't know for sure if he is or not. And neither do you.

Sure. But they are not cancer.
If you are suggesting environmental causes, perhaps you might start with cancers which are known to have environmental causes.
All cancers are not the same.

Research says vaccinations are not the cause of Autism.
I apologize if you feel I am making this a personal attack on you. I’m not.
However, I am personally involved and have followed research for 40+ years.

With all that said, does he, I and the rest of the family wish he was a typical child instead?
Yes - every day.
Every single day.
