1 in 12.5 boys have autism in California

Parents need answers!

Overall, the prevalence of autism in U.S. children rose approximately 17% between 2020 and 2022, continuing a decades-long trend, the CDC said in its latest study. The number for boys was 1 in 20 overall and as high as 1 in 12.5 in California.

We need to debunk the ‘autism is genetic’ narrative and look at environmental factors.

Other factors like the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) of 1986 that eliminated financial liability of vaccine manufacturers due to vaccine injury claims. In 1990 we see significant rise in autism after this act. See Chart

Parents with autistic children have been waiting too long for answers, with these initiatives they may soon understand.
