Props Arthur.

Too Soon Arthur
I was a little perturbed that that episode didn't address that there's a whole spectrum of autism and that not everyone is just a safe-space violation away from a full-on panic attack.
Can /co/ explains the sudden surge in autism in the western world?

It's the Nuggernaut!

Recognition of a spectrum that increased the amount of affected reported, and later childbirth in women.

Carl has Asperger's syndrome.

Turns out using the TV/Internet to raise your children is pretty shitty for development, on the lighter side of the scale. Also people waiting longer to have kids is suspected to be a cause, but nobody is all that sure why it's so prevalent these days.

To be fair, I prefer the nuerotypicals grow up learning to treat me like that because I am quite sensitive and even if I don't go into a full out panic attack, I get quite uncomfortable if something isn't right and would like them to leave me alone and understand.

There's no suden surge. It's just that the definition of autism has expanded so what used to be considered "that weirdo" now has an actual brain problem.
>>78248212
There are thousands of conspiracy theories for why autistic children are supposedly more common now than ever, but I think that people like this have always existed. It's just that in olden times, they'd just be called "odd" and nobody thought there was a brain chemistry reason behind their awkward or asocial natures.

This.

It's less of a surge and more that the internet made people more aware that they exist. Because they're naturally anti-social, most of them just quietly got something akin to a factory job and lived out their lives without communicating enough for anyone to really notice they were "off". The internet gave them a means to communicate, so it's more obvious that they're around than it was before.
