Autism quiz text

4. Autism is on the increase


Is the answer TRUE, FALSE or DEBATABLE?
Answer...
DEBATEABLE
There has certainly been an increase in the numbers of children receiving autism
spectrum diagnoses, but this does not necessarily mean that autism is on the
increase. It is quite likely that these changes reflect increased public awareness of
autism, and developments in how it is diagnosed.
