I call bull, people are over diagnosed. Those statistics are based on those who are diagnosed and not who actually have autism. I don't actually believe the rates are increasing, at least not as drastically.
Toxic waste has nothing to do with the disorder, autism is formed through genes and genes alone. You're born with it and nature isn't affecting weather you'll have it or not. I could be wrong about that but I'd really like to see a study that proves otherwise.
Also, don't listen to Autism Speaks. They believe that autism is a national crisis and those with it need to be quarantined, proof- http://www.autismspeaks.org/news/news-item/autism-speaks-washington-call-action
That is one of the main issues when it comes to autism - We spread awareness and get our support from a bunch of bigots.
The reason there are so many uneducated adults who are unable to get a job is because they're raised to believe they can get away with being lazy or having inappropriate behavior because they have autism. It's that mentality that has to change, we can't keep allowing people to use autism as a crutch because most people with it are highly intelligent and talented, they just aren't raised to believe so.

I listened to a dramatic reading of it and honestly, I didn't like it.
It was boring and not sad.

I didn't mean to say that they're all like that, I just meant that it plays a big role in why this is happening but you're right, our tough economy is making it even harder and most jobs do require social interaction, which really sucks.
