Why Has Autism Increased 600%?

Hi moms, I saw a PSA from autism speaks that said autism diagnosis have increased 600% in the last few decades. I know its the million dollar question, but why? Is there something really scary going on in the environment? Are diagnosis getting more accurate? Are more kids getting diagnosed who in previous years, would just be described as "quirky"? I was just wondering what your thoughts were.
