Is this the right math? If there are one in fifty four boys born in 2000 ,in this country diagnosed autistic, and twelve years have passed with an expected increase of 12 percent, does this suggest that those born in 2012 have a rate of one in 27 boys across this county...and one in 12 caucasian boys in Utah ?Looks like we're getting close to the point of a NT boy being extinct. Maybe we should contact the Sierra club or Greenpeace to protect this endangered species.
