The new data published by the disease control and prevention centers have revealed the rates of climbing autism among children.
In 2022, a surveillance program called Autism and Development Disabled Monitoring Network began controlling children from 4 to 8 years old between 15 North states -Americans, focusing on various reference points in the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
Among the 8 -year -olds, researchers found that one in 31 children, more than 3% of children in the United States, had ASD.

It was found that ASD was 3.4 times more likely in boys than girls, and the prevalence was less among non -Hispanic white children.

The CDC confirmed that the prevalence of ASD among children of 8 years was greater than 2022 than the previous year, since one in 36 children were diagnosed by autism by 2020.
At 48 months of age, ASD identification was higher among children born in 2018 than among those born in 2014, suggesting that “increase early identification consisting of historical patterns.”

“”[This] It underlines the increase in demand and the continuous need for improved planning to provide equitable diagnostic, treatment and support services for all children with ASD, “said the CDC in the report.
“The substantial variability in identifying ASD between places suggests opportunities to identify and implement successful strategies in communities to ensure that all children with ASD achieve their potential.”
“We live at a time when diagnosis has become the defect, not the exception,” said a psychotherapist. (Istock)
Jonathan Alpert, a psychotherapist and author of Manhattan, said he considers the CDC conclusions “alarming, but not surprising.”
“We live at a time when diagnosis has become the default value, not the exception,” he shared with Fox News Digital. “Whether they are children in schools or adults in therapy, more and more people are told they have a disorder.”
Alpert suggested that this increase in autism is part of a “much greater tendency”.
CDC to launch the study on vaccines and autism, possible links: report
“We are really seeing an epidemic of illness or we are expanding the definitions to the point where normal variation is labeled as a pathology?” Was questioned.
“I see it in my practice every week: Patients who enter it are already convinced that something happens to them because of a checklist they found online or a therapist who rushed to diagnose.”
“Many are struggling, yes, but they are failed by a system that offers fast tags and long -term treatment plans instead of results.”

The expert shouted behaviors such as shyness, annoyance and emotional sensitivity, which were “once seen as part of human experience”, but are now treated as “symptoms of a disorder.”
“People deserve honesty, not confusion,” he said. “They deserve to know if a diagnosis is based on the actual clinical need or on cultural rules and professional comfort.”

As for the potential bond between vaccines and autism, Alpert said this could be related to a greater trust problem in institutions, including mental health.
“When the field focuses more on the image and ideology than the results, people are in tune with,” he said. “And this is the crisis we should focus really.”
“We live at a time when the diagnosis has become the default value, not the exception,” a psychotherapist (not in the image) said to Fox News Digital. (Istock)
A spokesman for non -profit autism in New York commented that these findings reflect the “real progress” in children who are more precisely identified through a greater awareness, broader diagnostic criteria and more consistent and standardized screening tools. “

“Although there are many factors that drive these numbers, research shows that 60% to 90% of autism risk is rooted in genetics,” they said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
“However, one thing is clear: this constant increase in the prevalence calls for a deeper and sustained investment in autism research, not only to understand their causes, but also to support the increasing number of people diagnosed today.”
“This constant increase in the prevalence calls for a deeper and sustained investment in autism research.”
The spokesman called for changes in policies and budgets to reflect this “new reality”.
“This means expanding access to early intervention, strengthening educational and health systems, and providing supports that cover life. These data are not only a number, but also a call for action.”
Autism Parla reiterated its alignment with the research that confirms that vaccines “do not cause autism” and argue that the information on the vaccine was based on scientific tests. (Istock)
Autism speaks that research confirms that vaccines “do not cause autism” and argue that vaccine information was based on scientific tests. “
“We recognize the administration’s interest in autism research and reiterate our long-term position that must increase federal investments and focus on evidence-based advances that benefit autistic people and their families,” they said.

“Moving forward, meaningful research must be based on rigorous and evidence-based methods and carrying out in collaboration with the autism community, including scientists, clinics, autistic individuals and families.”
