Today is World Autism Awareness

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Be aware.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I recently saw that now 1 in 68 kids diagnosed. 2 years ago it was like 1 in 88. And before that it was 1 in several hundred.

It's going up, because they stopped getting vaccines!
heuheuheu. Or because Obesity in parents is linked to autism.

I'm thinking some parents like to use their kids as pity props.

It's estimated that the autism rate is over twice as high here in silicon valley as compared to the rest of the country.

I would believe that, but I wouldn't be surprised if the rate of "high-functioning" autism is higher there as well.

imo, to an extent, its the same as it has always been, but now the doctors and pharmaceutical companies are exploiting it, there is a whole industry of "therapists" that play at the park with kids to "integrate them socially" or whatever the fuck

that said, i really know not much whatsoever about it medically, but it seems lots of kids that are just fine are now diagnosed with "mild autism" because they like to daydream or finger paint or dont like to listen to their spoiled overwhelmed and preoccupied mothers

there are millions of legitimate cases, and i dont want to sound like i am dismissing them, i just think a lot of people are being taken advantage of
