The rise in autism diagnoses reflects improved understanding and diagnosis rather than an actual increase in cases.

The numbers don't reflect reality necessarily because... Again, read Neurotribes. It's a great book. Well, I'm not sure if this is the argument that's being made in that, but if you want to talk about a less evolved time in our history, we didn't understand various parts of the spectrum, and we didn't understand how to diagnose properly.
