Who the fuck needs an x axis anyway

  Military spending also increased from 2000-2022, ergo military spending causes autism.

  I think the x axis is “year of measurement | year of birth” since they are 8 years apart. Very unconventional and it would need an explanation but it’s not bad to have both pieces of information handy in this context

    Most magats are autists but not all autists are magats?

      It’s hard to speculate, but the cdc should take a look at this strong correlation!!

  Yeah Autism rates are going up in all groups because people are getting diagnoses. This is partly about better awareness but also partly about money - there is an incentive to expand the diagnosis, diagnose more people and treat more people, which somewhat muddies the water. Autistic Spectrum Disorder first appeared in the American DSM in 2012, unifying 5 existing conditions into one, and then it moved into the international ICD in 2018 (going live in 2022). It is no wonder awareness has gone up, and infrastructure for diagnosis has rolled out.

  We’re not seeing an increase in Autism, we’re seeing an increase in the diagnosis of autism. This graph just shows how stupid and dumbed down the CDC and the White House is under this cretinous president.

    It’s probably more than just better diagnosis.

    “Advanced Parental Age” has a significant body of work behind it, and people are having kids quite a bit older than they used to, because… you know… gestures broadly at how fucked up the world is

      My daughter’s autistic and we were 39 (wife) and 42 (me) when we had her. OTOH, we were two years older and my son isn’t autistic.

    we’re seeing an increase in the diagnosis of autism.

    Absolutely.

    We’re not seeing an increase in Autism

    Not sure about that. It can be both.

      Sure, it’s possible, but I’m not sure there’s data to support the idea of increasing rates of autism. The increase in diagnosis rates is way too strong of a confounder

  Absolute nonsense graph. Buckle up, this shit is going to get way worse.

  I believe the data through 2016, but the last 3 bars are faked. The increase per bin is 5 higher than the previous.

    It might be because DSM-V was released in 2013.

    Not trying to defend this drivel, but the metric is clearly normalized “per 1000 births”

    That actually doesn’t matter. The stats are per Capita.
