I'm don't think his theory is well based. In this article, he states: " When I

read that the incidence of autism was increasing, and combined that with the

fact that the incidence of Type 2 diabetes is also increasing, it seemed

reasonable that each increase could have the same ultimate cause -- the increase

in hyperinsulinemia in the general population, " Stern said. " I didn't do

anything with this notion for a few years because it seemed so obvious that I

figured everyone already knew this hypothesis, or had tested it and found it was

not true. "

I think there is a possibility that the incidence of Type 2 diabetes increasing,

especially among the autistic community may be because a side effect of the

medications they take is the occurrence of diabetes. My son didn't have any

signs or symptoms of diabetes (even with tests for it) until he had been on

Risperdal for a couple of years and after the dosage had been increased 3 times.

The side effects listed for a lot of psychotropic drugs and even some blood

pressure and cholesterol control meds often mention diabetes. Just my thoughts

on the subject.
