SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Researchers say they are baffled by the skyrocketing number of autism cases among California children. The rise has little to do with evolving diagnostic methods and population increases, according to a study by the University of California, Davis. Dr. Bernard Rimland, director of the Autism Research Institute in San Diego, said the UC Davis study dramatically undercounted autism cases. 'I certainly am pleased that they finally acknowledge that there is an increase,' Rimland said. 'However, the numbers they gave are nonsense. They're kind of minimizing it.' The report was delivered to state legislators and other officials Thursday, and researchers said they will press the state to quickly approve a study on possible causes.
