### CDC Autism Report and IQ Spectrum

- **Episode:** [604: Dead Jellyfish](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/604-dead-jellyfish.md)
- **Published:** 2014-03-30
- **Time:** 2:10:57–2:19:38
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/604-dead-jellyfish/chapter/cdc-autism-report-and-iq-spectrum.md

A new CDC report indicates a 30% increase in autism diagnoses, with one in 68 American children now identified on the spectrum. The report notes a significant rise in diagnoses among children with average or higher IQs. The hosts argue that the "autism spectrum" has become a broad business for the pharmaceutical industry and NGOs like Autism Speaks, potentially pathologizing brilliant or non-conformist children.

### Autism Prevalence, CDC Telephone Survey Data

- **Episode:** [497: Raining Scuds](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/497-raining-scuds.md)
- **Published:** 2013-03-21
- **Time:** 2:16:21–2:20:06
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/497-raining-scuds/chapter/autism-prevalence-cdc-telephone-survey-data.md

A new CDC report suggests that 1 in 50 American schoolchildren has a form of autism, a significant increase from the previous estimate of 1 in 88. The data was derived from a telephone survey of 100,000 parents rather than clinical diagnoses. Critics argue the numbers are inflated by broad definitions of the "spectrum" and that the survey methodology is statistically questionable.
