Reclassification and awareness is more likely the reason for an increase in Autism statistics.
The OP could be right though, maybe it is vaccines that have increased the incidence of autism. Who really knows for sure?
The term "cancer" covers a lot of ground. Do you have a source?
But that doesn't explain why cancer is on the rise in younger people does it?

I seriously doubt that. People say similar things about cancer "oh, cancer is only more common now because people live longer".

The modern diet is the most likely culprit imo.

What i do know for a fact, is that the predicament we're in as a race is a consequence of allowing money to come before anything else. And until that changes, nothing much else is going to change.

"Autism" has increased because they keep redefining it. Looking at the various sources on the Internet, it's very likely that I'm an undiagnosed high functioning autistic but when I was a kid nobody even knew what that was. So I just toughed it out and had to figure out coping strategies on my own.
So I don't know if autism has increased or just the diagnoses of it because awareness went up.

Do you have an autistic child?
There is a specific Autism that affects what appears to be a normal developing child around the age of 3 — that coincides with vaccinations.
Don’t use coincidence of timing — to claim false fact.

No. Nicholas Cage movie releases are definitely connected to accidental drownings.
Studies were conclusive, Phage.
