RedScrubs Weekly Wrap-up: 2-6-2009
Of particular interest this week among the diverse array of medical blog topics was this question posed by Prometheus, “Is the diagnosis of autism increasing and is it a real epidemic?” The blog brought to light that while the diagnosis of autism has increased over the years, the total number of children diagnosed with mental retardation had decreased over the years. Go figure. And, that is exactly what this author did, in five simple graphs; he took a look at whether we truly do have an epidemic of autism.
