Is autism a global issue, or is it only an issue in industrialized nations?

Moty asked:


I am just curious whether autism is a global issue, or just an issue in countries where children get immunizations. Are there studies? On the Today Show, doctors were claiming that autism just surfaces around the same time children are immunized. Wouldn’t this be easy to prove by assessing the rates of autism in children of underdeveloped nations (who haven’t been immunized)?

What do you attribute the huge increase in Autism diagnosis to?

Nat asked:


According to several studies I have read recently, there was an 800% increase in the positive diagnosis of Autism in the decade 1993 to 2003.
I have my own theories on this, right or wrong. I am interested to hear your opinion on the matter.
Do you think it is purely to do with the improvement of the diagnostic methods, or is there some suspicious underlying reason for the huge increase?
