9. Rise of Autism
Beyond the numbers ----
• expansion of diagnostic criteria
• adoption of the concept of autism as a spectrum of
impairments (ASD)
• improvements in screening
• Improvements in services for children with ASD
• increases in specific risk factors for ASD (such as increases
in the proportion of births to older parents)

Many studies have looked at whether there is a relationship between vaccines and
autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
To date, the studies continue to show vaccines are NOT associated with ASD.
