Autism is not an epidemic now, doctors who diagnose it are.

This. In more technical terms, diagnoses have increased, not incidence of the disease in the population.

"Autism is not an epidemic now, doctors who diagnose it are."
It is the new ADHD diagnosis in terms of well-meaning but unqualified docs making this diagnosis. It is becoming a "catch all."

"Autism" is made more prevalent simply because referring to autism now includes "autism spectrum" symptoms.
If you think autism spectrum diagnosis are overstating the actual numbers, go coach a youth soccer team or baseball team. There is an autism spectrum player on every team I've coached.
I'm only saying that because I'm now more aware of the symptoms. I think the same can be said of doctors who are in a position to diagnose children with the condition.
