Thanks I was looking for this.

We have no idea what’s causing this. 10 years ago, they told us it was an expanded definition of autism, the definition has not changed in 10 years, but the number of kids keeps going up.
They then tell us it’s genetic, but can’t find a gene to identify it
What we 100% know – Beyond a shadow of doubt, is it’s not vaccines
Damn! Climate Change is real. 😰
I would expect an increase in cases as Autism is now recognized more. I think Autism has always been there even in ancient times.
How is it diagnosed?
There’s something you’re completely missing, the fact that mental health and these kind of diagnoses are going up is because more people are getting diagnosed instead of hiding in shame. The exact same thing happens with the amount of people coming out as gay or trans, it’s not because they’re woke or because the water is turning frogs gay, it’s because public perception changes and people aren’t ashamed of themselves. It’s not rocket surgery pal
well they didnt really start diagnosing women and girls with autism until the 90s/2000s so i am sure that plays a huge roll
I care more about how much profound/classic autism went up, and would like to see that differentiated. The type that’s nonverbal and usually includes intellectual impairment.
OP… You must understand the difference between the actual propagation of a condition and its diagnosis, right?
we need to be able to add images in the replies.
This chart is the spitting image of the population growth rate.
wonder if it’s not a direct link….
Probably because of all the autism people get from reading r/conspiracy posts
The term “autism” has changed in years to include more individuals with disabilities. This creates the illusion that rates are going up relative to the population.
Libs will say they are just better at diagnosing it now.
Give it a few more years and it will likely reveal we’re all a bit on the spectrum 😂.
Because it’s not a disease, it is a neurological difference that they are learning about still today… the reason that rates are going up is because they limited the scope of what they considered autism and now they are starting to realize that people who have been functioning in every day society for generations are also considered autistic, but just happened to have the skill set and the ability to mask and function in our society. That’s it there is no big secret. They are just gaining more knowledge and realizing that neurodiversity is not a disease it is just the reality of human existence. This is why we are all very different and unique.
They want it to be genetic so pharma can keep getting rich from mass baby vaccinations or whatever.
Testing is better than ever!
Increased testing, increased understanding from the public. Decreased stigma amongst the public for mental health issues.
It being genetic alone explains it because if people with level 1 autism mates the possibility of the child having autism is higher.
