[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In 1980, autism was 2 per 10,000 births In 2024, autism is 1 per 12 births Not a shakedown OP.[/quote] 1) the 1 in 12 number is false 2) Do you suppose a greater understanding of brain science between 1980 and 2024 might have something to do with the ability for better diagnosis?[/quote] Autism is defined much more broadly now than it was in 1980. There are lots of people who qualify for a diagnosis now, who wouldn’t have in 1980. Asperger’s used to be a separate diagnosis from Autism. Now there’s just Autism Spectrum Disorder, which includes the entire range, from severely disabled people who will never live independently to people who are rigid thinkers and socially awkward, but are brilliant and capable of great professional success.[/quote]
