Am I right in my reading of that study:
- in 2002, 26.9% of the ~2300 cases of autism were 'profound'
- in 2016, it was 24.3% of the ~4800 cases
I must have missed some stuff, but this doesn't seem hugely significant to me?
If you mean non-signigicant in terms of absolute numbers, these are numbers coming from a small sample of US population (15 metropolitan communities).
I was more trying to understand your claim "They found a significant increase in US children aged 8 from 2000-2016 with profound autism."
