[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The rise in neurologically diverse children is due to the artificial increase of hormones--whether it be because of psychotropic drugs in mothers and fathers, plastic hormone disruptors, and IVF treatments, or some combination of those. Some people are more genetically susceptible to these than others and are more profoundly affected in utero.[/quote]

My theory on this is different. I believe the rise in autism and autism spectrum disorders is due to people on the autism spectrum being more able to reproduce than at any other time in history. In the past, people on the spectrum were unlikely to marry (they were seen as strange or weird...). Now, people on the spectrum are able to be successful due to the rise in computer science careers, and are therefore more suitable marriage partners and are having children more often.[/quote]

No way. 100 years ago, the autistic dude living in the middle of no where would find a wife in a mail order catalog. My dad is autistic and my mom locked him in because she was one of the last unmarried women in the college circles at 22, and she tells me she just figured she had to deal with his idiosyncrasies to get married. There is absolutely no way on earth any woman would put up with dating my dad now, let alone marry him. Women have more choices and don’t need to get married anymore. Autism and adhd is less likely to procreate these days than in the past. [/quote]
