NEW STATISTICS

THE AUTISM EXPLOSION

The numbers actually show that the rate of autism is actually 1 in 67

children impacted. (see below)

That translates to about 1 in 37 families if you take into

consideration the fact that the average US family has about 1.8

children.

Below is a copy of an email I received from Ray Gallup, Founder of

The Autism Autoimmunity Project - TAAP! (parents and key researchers

in the field of autism, looking for answers and helping to educate

the public about vaccination issues - truly some of the best out

there in these matters)

When 1 in 150 is really 1 in 67

by W. Gallup & F. Yazbak, MD, FAAP

Since February 2007, news outlets have widely publicized the fact

that recently released figures by the CDC have estimated the

prevalence of autism and autistic spectral disorders at a NEW high of

1 in 150. In this report, VAP's co-founder Ray Gallup and Dr. Yazbak

examine the most recent United States Department of Education

statistics and reveal that the 1 in 150 estimate is outdated by five

years. They report that the present prevalence of ASD may be as high

as 1 in 67.

We at the Vaccine Autoimmune Project are saddened and concerned to

see the latest Department of Education figures. We are also concerned

about what is to come. It is evident that, 1) our medical authorities

are more interested in defending vaccination programs than

controlling autism, the most devastating and real epidemic we have

faced in a hundred years, and 2) our wealthiest and largest autism

association is giving little attention to the role of vaccines and

vaccine additives and preservatives.

A parent and autism activist

According to the most recent report released this past week by

California's Department of Developmental Services (DDS)

(www.dds.ca.gov), California's developmental services system added a

record 1,060 new intakes of professionally diagnosed full syndrome

DSM IV autism during the 87 day period from July 3, 2007 to October

3, 2007..a rate of 12 new children a day, seven days a week... or one

new child every two hours.

Never in the 40 year history of California's developmental services

system have 1000 or more new children been added in any one three

month period to it's system. During the past 9 months alone

California has added over 2900 new children with full syndrome autism

(as always, the numbers of new intakes ONLY includes professionally

diagnosed cases of full syndrome DSM IV autism and DOES NOT include

any other autism spectrum disorders like PDD, NOS, or Asperger's

Syndrome). Keep in mind that it took 16 years (from 1971 to 1987) for

California's DD system to see a total population of 2700 persons

with autism. During the past 9 MONTHS alone California has added

2900 new cases.

Autism is not only the fastest growing condition in California's DD

system, now accounting for over 60% of all the new intakes (the

remaining less then 40% being the COMBINED numbers of new intakes

with mental retardation, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and conditions

that have as part of the condition mental retardation such as genetic

diseases Fragile X and Down's), but; now there are more persons in

California's DD system with a primary diagnosis of autism then with

cerebral palsy.

Unlike any other of the conditions served by California's DD system

where you see between 55-60% of those populations over the age of 22

years old, with autism only 16% of the population is over the age of

22 years old, 84% between 3 and 21, and eight out of ten between 3

and 18 years old.

BRISBANE, Australia, May 13 A new Australian report shows the

treatment of autism and related conditions is costing the Australian

economy about $5.8 billion a year.

The report by the Autism Early Intervention Outcomes Unit was

released Monday to mark the start of Autism Awareness Week.

Problems associated with autism and related conditions such as

Asperger Syndrome have increased 10-fold in the last decade, said Dr.

Morton, one of the unit's founders.

Morton says the Australian government has been caught unaware and the

official response to the rising incidence of autism has been " too

little too late. " " I hope that this study ... leads to funding for

early detection and early intervention, " he said.

Dear Mr. Gallup:

This letter is in response to your inquiry requesting nationwide

figures for the last 5 years on people with autism collecting

supplemental security income (SSI) payments.

The data on SSI recipients with Autism & Other Pervasive

Developmental Disorders for 2002 - 2006 is enclosed. Autism is not

recorded independently from other pervasive development disorders in

our data.

We hope you find this information helpful.

Sincerely

Sheryll Ziporkin

Acting Associate Commissioner

Office of Public Inquiries
