0:00.0	Today, according to the CDC, one in 36 children have been identified with autism spectrum disorder,
0:09.1	and that number has continued to climb over the years.
0:13.7	Even though we are better at diagnosing it now, maybe it would have been one in 100, not one in 150.
0:18.2	Either way, there's still a three times greater level of ASDIS orders today
0:23.7	versus in the past. And again, two primary reasons.
0:29.7	Hi, everyone. I am Dr. Josh Axe and welcome to the Growth Lab podcast where each and every week
0:35.5	we cover the science behind how to grow. Now, today
0:39.2	we're going to be talking about the rising rates of autism and a new study just broke this week
0:45.2	that I'm going to start off talking about. But in addition to that, I'm also going to go over
0:49.2	many of the other studies in science. I'm going to put it in the layman's term so you know

1:28.9	causes of autism are? And why have the rates skyrocketed over the last 50 years? In fact,
1:35.3	when I get into these numbers in a little bit, I actually have a graphic. I'm going to show you
1:39.0	the chart. I think you're going to be surprised to see just how extreme the numbers have gone from so low to so
1:47.6	high in such a short period of time. But to start here, a recent study just broke this week,
1:53.9	and it says one in four teens may have undiagnosed a case of autism. So one in 14s may have an undiagnosed case of autism. So one in four teens may have an undiagnosed case of
