[quote=Anonymous]I think it's a combination of the broadening of the diagnosis and also real increases in children who are "really" autistic. I have a premie and it is well known that white boy babies have worse outcomes than girl babies or POC babies. Boys are more fragile girls from conception on, more subject to disruption and more sensitive to disruptors. And our environment is more disruptive than it used to be. Boys present "worse", are more severely affected by autism than girls. My two DSs are both ASD and ADHD and, while both of those run to some extent in DH (ADHD) and my (ASD) families, my kids are struggling a lot more than earlier generations did. PS - I have a lot of Irish ancestors. While there's a lot of mythology associated with being Irish, this is the first I've heard that autism is part of it.[/quote]
