More research needs to be put into why there has been huge explosion in the number of autistic children, especially since the turn of the century (year 2000).
Growing up in the 90s you never saw so many kids with severe autism, ADHD and other behavioural issues. Definitely something is up.
More kids are getting diagnosed because there is more research and knowledge to diagnosis early. Also you have more immediate access to seeing more people with "severe" behaviors because of the immediate access of the internet and social media. It's unlikely you're actually
seeing a significant amount of more kids with severe autism present day, offline in your day to day than you did back in the 90s.
You just think back to when you were a kid. There definitely weren't all these autistic non-verbal kids running around.
Yeah bc I was a kid, internet was dial-up and there was no social media.
Who are all these autistic non-verbal kids that you are seeing offline?
