Autism was always around. Someone once said that everyone had that uncle that was really REALLY into collecting trains and displaying them.

Since I heard that back in the day… I just accepted that there’s nothing new under the sun and all these trigger points for folks today have just always been around. We just have a 24 hour news cycle now.

Kinda. Another large component is that we just understand the disorder better now and are able to diagnose it (more) properly. Same with ADHD (although to a lesser extent)

Why are all the kids being born in Silicon Valley getting diagnosed with ASD?? Maybe because at least one of their software engineer parents could/should have been.

This was apparently one of the starting points in the US according to the book Neurotribes.
