Why are there so many autistics now a days, there are definitely more around then ever inb4 diagnosises have just increased bs.

Is there some truth to vaccines causing it? Estrogenic foods? Internet? wtf is causing this autism epedemic.
>>
I think it might have to to with information consumption. The autism diagnoses correlate with increased info consumption if you look at trends in recent years. I think it might be a coping mechanism of a mind to deal with massive amounts of information, much of which is lies, bullshit, and of dubious truth.

all the chemicals in foods and containers. There was a documentary about how the estrogen in plastics etc is leaking into the food and causing birth defects etc.
It had alex jones&/x/ tier doomsday vibes but all it was was just interviews of prestigious scientists dishing out frightening info some of which has been known since the 20s

#1
Higher global population so there are actually more (not saying as a fraction but literally there are more)
#2
Much easier to live life without social interaction. Low level autism that would be trained out of you is left to fester because people simply don't need to socialise as much anymore.
#3 Autism is more noticeable now. Before now autistic people would go about there autistic things just like other retards and no one would care, but now things like Youtube, tumblr, DeviantArt, 4chan etc. exist where autists can spread their influence more.

I honestly think the numbers haven't changed at all, it's just way easier to see now because of the new routes of communication in the internet age. Also diagnoses definitely have increased more than they should've. You can literally just go to a psycho doctor and pay them money to diagnose you, then you get bonus exam time, autismbux etc.

wow thats an interesting hypothesis. did you come up with this one or is there a paper I can read? this actually seems really plausible and makes a lot of sense

enjoy your autism then

>>27394030
as someone diagnosed with autism it just makes sense to me
>>
>>27394021
you must be right. originally all these autistic neets would never leave their homes so you wouldnt see them in real life. the internet does expose them.

One contradictory thing is that you see more of these autists at school, somewhere theyre forced to go. ik this is anectodal but kind of rules the theory out
>>
One theory says that autism is created by too much testosterone in the brain, so maybe due to selective breeding the average ammount if testosterone has increased thus causing more autists

>>27393835
2 things:

>lack of minerals in the food
>mothers eating too much wheat bread stuff during pregnancy

yes, you read correctly. wheat is causing autism. true fucking story. research it.

>>27394044
fell right into that one haha.
>>27394067
so as someone with autism, do you feel its something you were born with or is something you have developed as a result of your choices in life?
>>
>>27394124
Not sure exactly. I was fairly normal for most of my life, it only came out after I started using drugs heavily.
>>
There is no autism. It's all a hoax. No child has it until they start pumping you with drugs.
>>

Vaccines. /s

I've got a weird theory, but hear me out.

It's caused by modern diets, but not in the way you would think. See, the development of our face, jaw and skull is dependent a lot on proper usage of said body parts.

Proper nutrition/diet leads to proper development of jaw, which leads to proper development of skull, thus optimal brain function. The whole craniofacial complex is VERY dependent on the development of the jaw. A jaw that is recessed will block airflow, resulting in worsened sleep, less athletic bodies, etc.

In addition to airflow structure, jaws affect the upper and anterior craniofacial development. This malformation of the skull, especially sphenoid, affects brain function.

So basically, soft foods=weak recessed jaws=bad airflow & malformed craniofacial development.

If anyone wants to look into this further (its actually really intersting stuff especially the way craniofacial development ties into everything, from your brain to your feet and spine) check out some simple reading on skeletal malocclusions and craniofacial development.

nah I was diagnosed and never took a single drug in my life, though I agree its used as an excuse to force drugs just like ADHD

this explains why Jews have been autistic for centuries with a culture focused on literacy

I fully believe that most people were meant to be illiterate and mass literacy was destructive to most people
>>
I've had it since I was born, so I know firsthand that the internet isn't a cause, but rather an escape route.

I think it's 100% due to mothers giving birth at later years. My mother gave birth to me when she was 33.
>>
>>27394334
Some people say video games are the cause but I don't even believe that, my brother was even more addicted to gaming than me as a kid (he would be the one who got more upset when my parents took it away, while I actually had some enjoyment of the outdoors) and is now a normie.

I think internet, gaming etc all cause/worsen social anxiety, but social anxiety is not the same thing as actual autism
>>
>>27393870
Most autism is most commonly diagnosed at around age three so I don't think it has much to do with information consumption. It has a large dependency on the age of the mother. And there are a large amount of women having kids post 40.

I think it's the end of the world, everyone gets autism and the world will slowly not be able to function.

this is what happens when you increasingly make people more and more isolated

the way we interact with each other now is very fucked up. it's a bunch of text and phone calls. the less face to face human interaction you have, the more depressed and anxious you become. Skype and all this online voice and face chat crap is an illusion and gives you a false sense of interacting with others.

its only going to get worse.

I do like how you dismiss the most plausible explanation right out the gate, but it's okay because you said "inb4."

stupid dumbfuck.
it's a very real mental condition.
>>
>>27394385
>Some people say video games are the cause but I don't even believe that

this is horseshit. why would an entirely emotive entertainment medium cause autism?

like I said earlier it's diet related.
wheat, barley, rye and oats - all things gluten - cause trouble during pregnancy. a brain and a heart can't grow properly from a lacking diet.

then there is the lack of minerals in the grounds. modern agriculture and the douchebags that govern it (monsanto for example) are the reasons there is no minerals in fruit, veggies or even lifestock because they have to eat said vegetation too.

you can't get by without vitamin and mineral supplements. minerals are especially important for brain functionality. if you don't have any, mental illnesses and complications are rising. hence why autism is on the rise and depression too. if you're not clinically dpressed you can at least curb some of the depression with minerals.

It's almost always boys too.

>increased pollution from xenoestrogens and other harmful chemicals in our water, food, toys, etc

>increased diagnoses

>>27394265
I would agree with you but lyme disease and syphillis have some pretty noticeable/serious symptoms once it goes into the latent phase, things like neurological damage that is hard to miss.

Reminder that half of them are falsely diagnosed and are just products of shitty single parent households.
