I don't know the english word for that process ). We might be misdiagnosing c-ptsd due to sa in children as ADHD sometimes. Dreamy = dissociation, staying in your headspace and not "in your body", hyperactive = being on alert, impulsive = emotional disregulation due to abus3, trouble concentrating = normal when abus3d A lot of the "typical" ADHD symptoms are also typical symptoms for victims of childhood sa and childhood c-ptsd. And due to the secretive nature of sa, because it's mostly family members or trusted adults, people might think everything is fine in their environment. The child is having a disorder, something is wrong with them. Interestingly ADHD potentially becomes better with neurofeedback. The same type of neurofeedback with the exact same protocol are also used to help with c-ptsd and make traumatized children calmer. I'm from a different country.

Of course some of it is attributable to changes in the definitions, but even afterwards the rise has been alarmingly continuing. The science so far suggests genetic factors are at least 80% responsible, in which case it could simply be a result of another human 'adaptation' to the challenges of modern life.

No, if something is “causing” the same symptoms, then, by definition, it can’t be considered autism.

I can understand how increased awareness could explain increases in mild autism (or Aspergers syndrome) because they would’ve just been considered “odd” or “quirky” years ago but better awareness doesn’t explain increased rates of severe autism because it has a very obvious presentation. When I was a kid in the 80s in a small town I don’t recall ever seeing any kids with severe autism but today it’s shocking how many people in the same small town have kids with high needs autism. At the elementary school my youngest goes to, I talk to a lot of the other moms and out of the 10 I talk to 5 of them have children with severe autism (like the non-verbal kind) and my daughter has 3 children in her class with severe autism. When I found that out I thought to myself, what is going on..??

I think the answer is pretty simple. While greater attention to the disorder is certainly increasing the number or people who are diagnosed with autism, there is another major factor in play here. Men who make babies when they are 40 are 400% more likely to has children with autism than men who make babies when they are 30. Simply put, autism rates are higher because people, in this case men, are delaying baby making.

I think the reason is more obvious for those of us who are autistic realize we are, is because the world is louder and faster than it used to be, making it more overstimulating. Before, things were more quiet and slow, so less obvious autistics didn't get as overwhelmed as easily. While we're also getting better at diagnosing it, it's also just more obvious when the loud and fast world is so overwhelming to us now. At least, that's my thoughts on it. Also, it's genetic. Autistics have kids, of course there's going to be autistic people coming about when two autistics get together, because we're often drawn to each other.

some people have said autism is part of who they are, and that's fair enough, but clinical depression and ADD are part of who I am but that does not mean i would disappear if were happy and could concentrate. the problem of "am i the same person?" is similar to a thought experiment called The Ship of Theseus, where a ship has a rotten plank replaced, and then some time later, it has another replaced and so on until none of the original ship is left. one solution to this problem is to tell the philosopher to shut the f up and stop being silly. if someone were "cured" of autism they would have the same memories, the same family and friends and would have the same past experiences, so they might still be the same person. I'd say they probably would be the same, except some things that they previously had to figure out would come naturally. (like instinctively knowing someone's feelings or the meaning of figurative language or whatever they could't do when they were autistic. p.s. i know autism symptoms are unique to the individual, i'm not saying all autistic people have these symptoms just that some do ) (i apologise for my poor english skills, i'm extremely lazy)

+TheBlankProject yeah, the ship part isn't really relevant to the discussion, I'm not completely sure why I mentioned it. (and since depression and autism are vastly different from each other in neurological terms, it's probably not a fair comparison) I guess it's a very individual thing if you want to be cured or not, as some people with aspergers/autism have a really difficult time because of it and might say yes to a cure (who I've personally met, I'm not presuming things)

But Autism can't be cured and it's pervasive. It affects the entire personality. Plus, Autistic people are usually really good at remembering stuff, so if it were cured than they'd probably forget a lot of the things they knew. Some people can't talk or express their self because if it, and without Autism that would change almost everything about them. Depression and ADD are different from Autism. Depression is something you can get rid of and trouble focusing is something that doesn't affect the personality too much.

my mother was part of a study for Shriners that analyzed the link of autism and fine air particle pollution. my sister has autism and we lived across the street from the freeway when my mom was pregnant. Out of the hundreds of mother's they studied there was no denying that the more polluted your environment was during pregnancy to the first two years of life the higher your chances of the child becoming autistic. the whole vaccination thing is a load of bull. the strongest link so far is pollution. some people think kids get diagnosed because its some sort of fad but that is not the case. the good news is early intervention can cure it or help tremendously. it all goes back to the fact that pollution is killing us.

No. Drugs dont cause autism and spreading it around that they do is sad. Autism is largely genetic based.

While i cant say for certain that drug use wouldnt cause mutations, it wouldnt be the deciding factor. If anything it would cause being born addicted or a disorder like fetal alcohol syndrome without a prior disposition.

How can your videos not be in focus..? I mean its one person, standing completely still.

last summer.. Oxford University hosted a seminar regarding psychiatry and philosophy.. and one of their discussions was very much related to this issue.. specifically.. one of the talks was about the history and evolution of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-3.. DSM-4.. and DSM-5..) I know.. real riveting topic.. but it really was! the important point is that they also talked about the strange philosophical phenomenon of completely changing how one disorder may be redefined over night.. "yesterday I had Aspergers.. today I have autism..?" they also talked about how difficult it is to change a definition of a disorder.. even if it means to clarity and write a more truthful definition that reflects what we now know about the disorder.. why? many reasons.. if one changes the definition.. then all previous studies on that disorder may be worthless.. then government funding that helps citizens may completely stop until everyone is rediagnosed with the disorder using the new definition.. even pharmaceutical companies could put pressure on definitional changes.. basically.. there are dozens of forces that are applying pressure from all directions to prevent reasonable changes to DSM-5.. I remember all the experts in the room were talking about the DSM-5 having a kind of philosophical crisis..

That's the trouble with psychology: the layman looks to shrinks as some kind of clergymen that can interpret their holy book (DSM V) for them and grant them a diagnosis, which in the contemporary West is quite valuable in terms of social capital, and even potentially monetary capital from disability benefits. They don't realize that there's such a thing of philosophy of medicine, or that psychology is as much a culturally and temporally dependent intuitive artform as it is a science. Psychology a century from now will surely be entirely different from psychology today, just as it was vastly different a century ago. As time has gone on, aberrant behaviors previously thought to be indicative of disorders are now considered normal, and ways of presenting oneself or thinking or acting that were previously thought of as perfectly normal or perhaps just a bit eccentric are now considered symptoms of mental illnesses. There are even culturally-dependent disorders, like one that is specific to East Asian culture, especially Japan, wherein the patient is terrified of causing another person to feel embarrassed by their presence, or feel bad for them, or cause others negative emotions due to their appearance or bodily functions. This syndrome is known as Taijin kyofusho. I suspect that autism may be something of a distinctly Western, postmodern syndrome. Back in the late Middle Ages and early Modern Age there was a several hundred year period in Europe when there were these bizarre phenomena known as "dancing plagues", which are today thought to have been cases of mass psychogenic illness. Call me crazy, but I believe that is what is going on in the West, causing millions of young people to identify as transgender, or autistic, or bipolar, or a "therian" (kids that say they are animals trapped in human bodies), or having Borderline Personality Disorder, or in an imaginary "'ship" (fake relationship, wheeee isn't Zoomer newspeak fun?) with an OC (stands for original characters, ya know, imaginary friends...which ironically, usually aren't very original at all), or being a "system", as TikTokers call people who pretend to have Dissociative Identity Disorder. These mental contagions are spreading like wildfire, and anyone that points it out gets called "ableist" by these cultish youngins.

Ive overcome autism and supressed many of my former autistic traits. I now keep my spergtastic outbursts to myself and have them on my own time when nobody is around. Now i can socialize and function as a regular normie, and nobody suspects i was ever a sperg (;

I have autism, and I started talking when I was 3, but I am starting to think that It was harder to learn English, than anything else, I had a hard time learning English because it was already like I knew another language... but I couldn't remember that language, and my memory was stoked, but the strange thing was that my mother had a form of autism, when it isn't even autism

I was diagnosed with asperger's at age 35. Looking back now, it all makes sense

Didn't need this information, been saying for years that the "rise in autism" is due to more people being diagnosed, but thanks for clearing it up for uninformed people.

I find it hard to believe that 1 in 45 kids today have autism, and even more have other brain disorders. That doesn't leave very many healthy kids. I don't ever recall any disorder or combinations of disorders giving you a 1 in 50 chance of getting it. That's incredible, regardless of whether you call it autism or anything else. You should have a 1 - 50 chance of having blue eyes, not of brain disorders. Add in the rise of ADD, ADHD, OCD... and is anyone having a healthy kids these days. Send like if you add up all the things, you have less than a 1 - 2 chance of having a healthy kid. So either we are over diagnosing, and over medicating, or there are environmental factors.

Not true. There is a reason some are getting this so easily. For one the means for things to cross the blood brain barrier is not closed until after six years old. I think it would help if they would give vaccines a little later. When I was in school they were given at that age range. But Dr. Shaw did a study (Great Plains Laboratory) which has been published and known for awhile now that doctors prescribing parents give their young children Tylenol before and after getting their shots has a major link to the epidemic of autism in the United States. Go to his website, click on autism and listen to the video on this topic. This has been known for awhile now but it is not spreading and I think it is being suppressed by the pharmaceutical companies. No one should be taking acetamenophen/Tylenol...same things and definitely don't give the stuff to children. Go listen. His findings were published. Shaw is a chemist and he use to lecture with Dr. Rimland who was the founder of the Autism Society of America. Rimland has passed but his Institute still exists in San Diego where I use to live. I believe there can be a number of reasons but the major one is giving acetamenophen before and/or after receiving the vaccines. They took the mercury out of the vaccines for children under six years ago in the US and there is a minute amount in batches. It wasn't that. It's not the vaccines at all. It is NOT over diagnosed unfortunately. Only uniformed people come up with that. I worked with these children and they are legion.

Veronica Daze I can't verify everything you say, don't know what you mean by blood brain barrier. I can day that when we started vaccinating, we got very frustrated with the Dr's. We didn't do it on their schedule, and when we did schedule a vaccine they'd tell us, "Most kids don't even respond to this vaccine." Then the very next sentence was, "Make sure you give then Tylenol an hour before." My response was always, "Why do I want to give them unnecessary medicine for a vaccine they won't have a reaction to?" Dr, "For their comfort." Me, "But, if three l he develops a fever from the vaccine, I want to know, and we can medicate at that point." Dr, "Oh, they won't respond, and its usually very mild, but give them the Tylenol." Then when we'd bring our son in because he was sick, they'd look at his chart and say, "oh he's overdue for ... vaccine, why don't we give it to him while he's here?" WTF, he's already sick, and you want to overload his system with more? The final straw was the DPR vaccine. 1st shot, 104° fever, second booster 105°, third 106°. When we called the office to get the dates of his shots, and when we called about his fevers, they said they didn't keep any records. No records? no reporting adverse reactions? Goodbye, we found a different office, and no more vaccines.

"thankfully insurers are required to cover autism" why thankfully? That means people who don't want the cover have to pay for it. Do you think they are thanking government for that and their increased unpayable premiums?

Honestly, a lot of social norms of non-western countries are seen as symptoms of autism by the west. For example, a lot of cultures see direct eye-contact too aggressive and as a sign of disrespect.

If I grew up now a days, I would of been diagnosed with Autism as a kid. Being unaware my teacher just thought I was slow (I was socially); she just didn't know what to look for. Now I'm in a top physics PhD program, so I'm not stupid. Yep awareness reflects number diagnosed which increases those demographics.

Being autistic doesn't mean your dumb

Everything but the facts. Vaccine schedule is ridiculous.

It's so common because we as humans have brain variations. I'm autistic and I wouldn't change it for the world. Also, kinda spring when I heard early intervention and less symptoms - instead of focusing on "less symptoms" (hand flapping, rocking, etc. why not focus on acceptance of those symptoms? For us, it's a way of self-expression and emotional expression. Taking that away harms us. I'll flap my hands, and if you're uncomfortable then that's not my problem :)

+bellavita rox Exactly. It's only perceived as a disability because they use their neurotypical mindset as the definition of what it means to be human and judge everyone outside of it accordingly.

Alice Evonic Three things: 1)...What if it's like, a minor case of autism? Y'know: high-functioning. 2) Also, you can't catch autism, and one of your kids' friends are bound to have some form of it and you can't even tell. And a lot of things kids like are created by adults with autism...like Pokemon. 3) Those who aren't lucky enough to be high-functioning aren't diseased either. At least accept that they exist, and tolerate it? Diseases are illnesses of the body while autism is a condition of the mind that you're born with. Everything would be fine if people like you just kept your mouth shut. When the kid said you are part of the problem...well he's not wrong. Oh, and it's *Minecraft. I don't even like that game and I know this. But what does that have to do with this argument?

Me I have a form of autism, but I think it is more likely to be persistent depressive disorder which is also called Dysthymia which seems like what king David had on this mental health disorder website: journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0957154X04044512?journalCode=hpya | but it said he had depression... which is weird...

maybe the doctors who charge ridiculous amounts to give an official diagnosis realize its a golden cash cow and are just slapping the label on every kid that gets pushed into their office, getting rich in the process

How do you say? That's a BINGO.

I love the part where she mentions the studies comparing ASD rates in vaccinated populations to those in nonvax populations. Oh . . . wait . . .

The most important factor in the rise of autism is that the average age of parents, especially mothers, is increasing. But we can't make that point because that would be too politically incorrect.

I have heard of this as a possible relationship and it is plausible, but certainly not hard to determine the truth of. The records exist to find this relationship. There were still older people having kids in the 70s just not as many. It is possible to look at the rates by average age of parents (or mother, or father) and see if it is similar to rates over time.

Maybe in the future we can regulate when people can have children like a legal window from the ages of 25 to 34

I think it's a bit of awareness and the fact that we're still booming population.

has to do with an increase of memes

Shhh we don't tell people are ways

I have high functioning autism. The one thing I have to say to parents is, if you suspect it, take your child to a doctor to get them (possibly) diagnosed. The treatments this provides your child will only help them to become a happier, more nureo-typical person in society. With the treatments my parents got me I am able to have friends, speak, look in people's eyes, and live a full, rich life. Please, do the same for your child.
