Hold on ..... How can you have a 300% RISE in autism if autism was non-existent. % is a relative number, so it requires a base.
For instance: if I have a 100 bullets, and I add 300 bullets, then, the increase in bullets is 300 (the addition)/ 100 (the base) * 100% = 300%
Or better yet, they may have had a case of autism, and now have 4. 4-1 is the number of more cases = 3. 3/1*100% = 300%.
So, the top line sounds very disconcerting, but based on what?
I don’t think he meant literally no cases of autism. He probably meant relatively none trying to convey a message.
