I remember when my mum was filling out a form as part of the autism assessment, she was like “sounds a lot like my husband as well… And his dad”
I’m convinced my mom is on the spectrum and my grandparents
Didn’t we used to hide it?
Yes. This is an artifact of a destigmatization coupled with better diagnostics for evaluating ASD. More people aren’t autistic, more people are being diagnosed and receiving counseling for coping with the neurldivergence in a cold and uncaring neurotypical world.
Assuming the data is true (doubt it because of fucking beef jerky man), it’s not so much that autism is on the rise so much that autism rates are being diagnosed more and autism is less stigmatized than it was previously.
If I remember correctly, it fits the same overall curve of the number of reported left handed people over time after society stopped forcibly making people use their right hand. Shockingly, actually making an attempt at diagnosing people and tracking those diagnoses makes numbers go up.
Imagine the sexist fascist racist homophobe convicted Cheeto puff is also ablest, please keep adding adjectives that describe the 47th president of the Confederated States
Well the cure is clearly to stop testing.
Instances of autism have skyrocketed since the discovery of autism and effective testing for it.
Clearly these tests are causing the autism. It’s a conspiracy by Big Autist to make the world a quieter and more curious place. The railway companies are in on it too.
Autism tests cause autism, got it, let’s roll boys, we have more science to ban
I think you just predicted the next South Park plot.
Synopsis:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reveals that Tylenol causes autism, he then wants to open a bottle of it, but fails miserably. Then Eric Cartman gets on the stage talking about the evils of autism, then he shows he was bitten by an autistic girl he “played with”, but the security footage he shows about the meltdown reveals he terribly bullied her, so people will immediately feel sorry for the girl instead.
Kyle manages to open a bottle of Tylenol, not knowing it summons cenobite-like autists from a different dimension, supposedly turning the people who summon them into autists. The others, save for Cartman, manage to find the same autistic girl bullied by Cartman who can also open that bottle summoning the other-worldly autists, who then be convinced by the boys to take them to the autism-world. Said autism-world is mainly designed around the needs of autistic people. After some shenanigans, there comes the reveal that Kyle was always autistic, the autism-cenobites don’t turn anyone into autists as Tylenol bottles can only be opened by other autists, he just was very good at masking, wants to go back to his own world even if there would be people who will bully him for what he is.
Meanwhile, Cartman goes on an “Autism Awareness Tour” to “promote remedies”, but tanks them the moment he shows the footage.
Cool but
That line of best fit doesn’t even match the data. How can it start above the data and then finish above the data but still be line of best fit. Not that that’s the only problem with this graph of course.
Sorry, it’s actually a “best fits our narrative” line. I can see how you might have been confused.
I think it’s just a trendline, not a line of best fit.
Autism diagnosis rates. Quite a difference.
Remember Covid, don’t report on things = they stop existing.
Well, get out of here with your logic and reason…
In other news, visibility bias has been classified as communist propaganda. Anyone who says this isn’t representative of an actual increase in the incidence rate is a communist and can safely be ignored.
Will this administration release data on the impact of fossil emissions on diseases like asthma?
Also heath waves death tolls
It’s been a mess out there, for sure.
Oh, they will. But reliable data?
Be careful what you wish for, lol.

Not autism rates, detection rates is what’s up, more kids are growing up with adequate helps and therapies so they can grow to be functional adults.
It is the same story as gay infecting children’s minds.
They are selling awareness as something to be afraid of. Which is yet another layer od evil.
Not only that, but they wish really hard for us to be their tiny little scapegoats, when probably most of the autistic community hates them.
Too add to that there are more types of autism. It’s a spectrum.
Yes, trains autism, boats autism, Math autism… /j
No but for real, no two autistic individuals are ever the same.
Adequate helps and terapies - repression and psychological abuse. Great. We are functional adults, fuck you.
Uuuhhhhhh, I’m an autistic adult who can somehow function because I had heaps of help growing up, many of my friends weren’t that lucky and have a hard time just existing.
Fair point, sorry. My statement about not torturing children still stands.
Not all therapies are ABA, most are based in science and helps the kid instead of scarring him, when i was little I actually looked forward to some of them like neurofeedback.

maybe that’s why they were elected lol

taps the chart
If they could read or do comparisonal analysis or could formulate higher-functional abstraction in their frontal lobes, this would really make them think.
For some reason, that doesn’t look like a GPT-generated graph, which means… sadly… that someone had to make that thing… and somebody had to approve it.
What do you bet it’s not even based on real data and it’s just some random rectangles that they drew.
They also could have just grabbed any graph off of google images and relabeled it. That was a apparently a popular shortcut in corporations when someone had to present to their bosses.
you know, everest was still there before it was discovered.
Everest wasn’t murdered before it was 5 years old.
