Though I live in Brick Township, we moved here in 2004 - well after all these studies took place. Since these initial "clusters" the population here in Brick of children with autism continues to boom, boom, and boom some more. Many are born here and Many move here because of the reputation for excellent school services.

Autism is on the rise out here in California too. A new study suggests that it is due to environmental factors. Very interesting blog you have here. I just thought I would pay you a visit.
