Source? I could definitely buy that children diagnosed with autism or a disorder on the autism spectrum has increased but do you have any proof that actual instances have?

Another example: Compare the 1950's to the 1970's to the 2000's. I would bet that the number of kids diagnosed with ADD/ADHD have seen a *mild to moderate* increase. Is that a case of increased ADD or is it simply an increased rate of the diagnosis of ADD?
