If you still have doubts, this study will convince you. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Recently, some public officials have harped on an increase in the incidence of autism. In March 2025, President Trump addressed a joint session of Congress, saying that “1 in 10,000 children had autism… And now it’s 1 in 36. There’s something wrong.” Next, he implied that “we’re going to find out what it is, …and RFK, Jr. will figure out what is going on.”Yes, the rates of autism (ASD) are higher than in the past.CDC’s latest ADDM surveillance found autis

One of my favorite patients from my early years in Austin was a little girl named Jesse, who was delivered at 28 weeks gestation to highly educated parents, a psychologist mother and an anesthesiologist father.

When my friends and I gather for monthly book club meetings, we say hello, often hug one another, and sit around a table to enjoy cheese and crackers or other delicious hors d’oeuvres. Long before the dinner seating and book discussion, we share our most recent visits with and photos of grandchildren (and grown children). We ooh and ah over the precious pictures of the young lives to which we are related and so proud. Then, we report on our other adult children – those without kids - how they ar
