England releases first study of adults with autism.
Time (10/3, Wallis) reported, "England's National Health Service (NHS) released the first study of autism in the general adult population," and its "findings confirm the intuitive assumption: that ASD is just as common in adults as it is in children."
This seems "to contradict the commonplace idea that autism rates have exploded in the two decades" and has been "hailed as part of a growing body of evidence that the" childhood vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella, "which was introduced in the 1988, is not to blame."
