Why is there so much autism nowadays?
| I think a main reason is due to Over-pathologization. Calling other people "autist" is one way how stupid people deal with more intelligent people.
Same is with "depression", which allows societies to immunize themselves against fundamental criticism.
| That’s true I get called autistic and such both by mean stupid people and also I was born very early
| There's just a lot of dumbasses who say they have autism or use it as a defence, in reality people who actually have autism have always been around and we found tests we can do to identify them, and because we can identify them the number seems like it's going up even if it's always been roughly the same number.
