Dr. Michael
Davidovich, author of a study on autism in Israel and the director of the
Institute for Child Development at Bnai Zion Hospital in Haifa said: "We face a
rise of autism among Israeli children."
The rate is 10 children for every 10,000 children. Margolit Tirosh,
chair of the Association for Autistic Children, said according to Haaretz that
each year at least 60 to 90 children were diagnosed as autistic children.
It is not clear as to the reason for this increase. One expert
claimed that the pollution of our environment with rays or dangerous chemicals
caused a rise of these sad cases.
