When I was in school I had never heard of AUTISM.
56 min mark...
In 1975 we had one in 5,000 children with autism
Today the autism rate is 1 in 36 today; and 1 in 8 with ADD / ADHD
At the current rate we will hit 1 in 3 with autism by 2035
LET THIS SINK IN...
1 in 3 children with a neurologic state that leaves them unable to participate in what we would call a normal, economic participatory state. They can't participate in a normal classroom, they can't participate in a normal business environment, they are not going to be productive in the current environment that we have. AND... it takes 2 people to be productive enough supply the resources needed to support 1 autistic child.
Are you listening? Are you paying attention yet? Does this leave you concerned for the survival of our nation? It should. This may be the single most important threat to our nation in my opinion. I've seen what it does to the child (my grandchild in this case). I've seen what it does to the family. How hard every, single minute, of every single day is. Until you've lived it you have no stinkin idea what I'm talking about.
This should have every single person in our country EXTREMELY CONCERNED and demanding answers!
