Or is it new and disabling, triggered by something in the environment that is damaging more children every day?Authors Mark Blaxill and Dan Olmsted believe autism is new, that the real rate is rising dramatically, and that those affected are injured and disabled, not merely neurodiverse.” They call the refusal to acknowledge this reality Autism Epidemic Denial. This epidemic denial blocks the urgent need to confront and stop the epidemic and endangers our kids, our country, and our future.The key to stopping the epidemic, they say, is to stop lying about its history and start asking "who profits?" People who deny that autism is new have self-interested motives, such as ending research that might pinpoint responsibilityand, most threateningly, liability for this man-made epidemic.Using ground-breaking research, the authors definitively debunk best-selling claims that autism is nothing newand nothing to worry about.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 235mmItem Length: 156mmItem Width: 28mmItem Weight: 476gAuthor: Mark Blaxill, Dan OlmstedGenre: MedicineTopic: Social Sciences, Society & CultureType: MedicineRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
