When I said lead poisoning I meant getting shot. :)
Also, I question the accuracy of the autism rise. There is a note at the bottom that says 25% may be from increased diagnosis, I believe it is much higher then that.
Edge cases would never have been diagnosed in the past, and others would be often misdiagnosed, or just told their parents were failures.
Combine that with it being overdiagnosed today, and I'm not sure if there has been an increase. Most of the same can be said about add.
Your point isn't wrong though, cancer rates and super-gonorrhea are new. Due to large population movement, and anti-vaxxers, obscure diseases like Ebola can pop up anywhere.
But it is far less likely for them to get shot.

Kids may be safer and do not have to deal with lead poisoning, polio, etc. There is rarely talk about whether little Jimmy will live through the winter anymore
There are modern day issues that kids face now though that were basically nonexistent before.
