Autism rates are increasing due to human-created factors such as vaccines, medications, and chemicals.

We don't know exactly what is causing autism. They have a lot of suspicions. A lot of them have to do with vaccines and different medications and different chemicals and pollutants and all sorts of different things. And cologne, too. One thing we could all agree on, and Tylenol, they think, too, right? But one thing that we can all agree on is that it's a big factor, is stuff that we've created. It's a big factor. Whatever it is. Let's not put the blame on any one of these industries, but there's something going on where more people are getting autism now than ever. And it seems almost positive that it's coming from us, that we did something.

The rise in autism diagnoses is explained by greater awareness, screening, and genetic predispositions, not vaccines.

One is greater awareness in the wider population of the autism spectrum with a greater likelihood that parents, you know, will seek out appropriate care, and that'll likely come with a diagnosis. There's also, you know, some screening that people do in well-child visits now that wasn't routine before but has become more now. There's also a number of other ideas like genetic predispositions, but the vaccine link has been investigated and found to be bullshit.
