Autism Rates in Canada Have Exploded by Over 1,500% — Why Is Health Canada Silent?
As U.S. health agencies re-examine childhood medical policies, Canada offers no answers as autism diagnoses skyrocket
New federal data shows autism prevalence in Canada has surged from one in 714 children in 2000–2001 to one in 44 by 2023–2024, a staggering 1,507% increase. Newly identified cases jumped from 35 to 365 per 100,000 children. Yet Health Canada and PHAC have offered no urgent response, attributing the rise mainly to “increased awareness” and earlier diagnosis. Health Minister Marjorie Michel remains silent.
A Stark Contrast With the United States
While Canada downplays these numbers, the U.S. is rethinking childhood medical interventions. Under President Trump and HHS Secretary RFK Jr., the CDC reduced the routine immunization schedule from 17 illnesses to 11, cutting total doses by roughly 55%. Studies show countries with higher autism prevalence — Canada, the U.S., Australia — give infants significantly more doses in the first year than countries like Denmark and Norway.
The CDC also acknowledged studies haven’t fully ruled out links to autism in early infancy and is exploring biological mechanisms, including immune and inflammatory pathways.
Silence Is Not a Strategy
As the U.S. investigates potential contributors to rising neuro-developmental disorders, Canada continues to repeat pharmaceutical slogans instead of asking hard questions. Ignoring these signals won’t protect children — transparency, accountability and real investigation are urgently needed.
