Or is it new and disabling, triggered by something in the environment that is damaging more children every day? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAuthors Mark Blaxill and Dan Olmsted believe autism is new, that the real rate is rising dramatically, and that those affected are injured and disabled, not merely \"neurodiverse.\" They call the refusal to acknowledge this reality Autism Epidemic Denial. This epidemic denial blocks the urgent need to confront and stop the epidemic and endangers our kids, our country, and our future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe key to stopping the epidemic, they say, is to stop lying about its history and start asking \"who profits?\" People who deny that autism is new have self-interested motives, such as ending research that might pinpoint responsibility--and, most threateningly, liability for this man-made epidemic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing ground-breaking research, the authors definitively debunk best-selling claims that autism is nothing new--and nothing to worry about.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Blaxill,Dan Olmsted\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Skyhorse Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.21w x 0.65d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781510788046","brand":"Skyhorse Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46428587851913,"sku":"9781510788046","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_d5d97701-bf55-49ef-8f37-08cd4d012671.jpg?v=1778013396","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/denial-how-refusing-to-face-the-facts-about-our-autism-epidemic-hurts-children-families-and-our-future-9781510788046","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
