[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are major tech and fintech hubs in Ireland. So, a population of highly-educated parents and tech geeks similar to the Silicon Valley ones. Those are also the ones who don't let kids use screens too much and have money for screening. I think it's genetics and higher rates of testing for ASD. [/quote] There has never been any studies that have indicated that the entirety of the increase is due to greater diagnosis and many that have suggested that there is also just an increase in incidence. The genetic connection is obviously there but can that really explain rising numbers as opposed to some sort of steady state?[/quote] There are likely other factors, indeed, e.g., environmental (drinking). Yet, the growing numbers may also reflect the growing genetic pool, such as more hub workers. [/quote]
