Much like the new <a href=\"http:\/\/sol-biotech.com\/wordpress\/2013\/03\/18\/dsm-v\/\">DSM-V<\/a> seems to be medicalizing normal conditions, this vastly increased rate of incidence may be nothing more than doctors groping around to assign a label to ordinary kids.  There is no doubt in my mind that had I grown up today I would be diagnosed with autism, ADD, ADHD, etc. and, presuming my parents were credulous enough to buy it (I hope not, but one never knows), I would be hopped up on drugs and would absolutely grow up a different person.
