What's causing the autism epidemic?
Women getting mad at the stigma (rightfully) attached to BPD diagnosis and angrily insisting they have CPTSD/autism/whatever else to their psychiatrists and therapists who concede because they just want their money
>>16979139how do we make this the bare minimum female breast size scientifically speaking
>Women present autism differently!>The clinical requirements for autism is biased because the symptoms were worked out from how men present autism!**CLEARLY** IT'S NOT AUTISM BUT SOMETHING ELSE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
1. nerds with rich mommy and daddy calling for an autism diagnosis so they get gibs2. genetics: sperg males on the spectrum marrying mostly-Asian females also likely on the spectrum because they can't get Stacy

>>16979139parasites and toxins. toxins create a suitable environment for parasites. doing parasite cleanses is not enough, the toxins need to be dealt with too.
>>16979305There is no such thing as "autism" behind the autism diagnosis. Propagating the lie that there is an autism separate from the invention of a diagnostic code meant for insurance purposes means perpetuating a disease that doesn't exist.Either you're disabled and that's because you fulfill the autism criteria or you're not. Pretty straight forward.
>>16979305Peculiar how autism is "awesome" and has always been with us bots are now swarming 4chan too. Seems like pharma is essentially panicking since it has become common knowlegde that autistic people are brain-damaged and that the damage was caused by vaccines. Obviously, we're supposed to look the other way and pretend that clearly mentally incapacitated retards are just as valuable and competent as normal healthy people.
Isnt sensory toys something that they market to toddlers and the retarded ?Seems weird that we turn tard and kid toys into something fully grown women now crave>>16979423maybe tha's why they pass of tard toys as something that seemingly normal women want.
>>16979423>hrr hrr my IQ is 91 and I saw someone on twitter link to a fake journal and can totally evaluate it
>>16979141fpbpMost of these women have something wrong with them, but it's usually either something unsexy like depression/anxiety or an outright personality disorder. But they don't want to be mentally ill, they want to be "neurodivergent" because they view that as the ultimate form of validation and an all-express justification for their behavior. They do this with ADHD too though that has the added perk of a stimulant prescription.
>>16979139Older men having kids. Since the older a man is the higher risk the if autism
imagine the smell...
>>16979483Gross.
>>16979139>Tattoos everywhere. Tattoos of shitty childish amateur scribbles>Random scrap metal junk hooked through the flesh Fucking puke
>>16979139I am a psych NP and you cannot even imagine the amount of patients that are seeking an autism diagnosis from me in the past couple years. Almost all of them are 18-25 year olds. I blame tik tok self diagnosers. I have only actually diagnosed someone with autism four times. I am not big on diagnoses as much as I am with treating symptoms. I think a large portion want to be on disability or get school/work accommodations. Some just want to have the diagnosis to blame all their issues on it. A few genuinely want to know. Basically none actually have autism. >What's causing the autism epidemic?>>16979141100% this
>>16979559As someone just outside the age range you posted and is going to college later in life, being surrounded by these fucking retards who psychopathologize every little fucking thing, calling every conceivable personality trait "autism" and shit makes me want to do newsworthy things. I don't begrudge you but the opportunistic money grubbing faggots in your profession enabling all this
>>16979605It's annoying but so is knee jerk contrarianism that goes to the other extreme of denying psychological conditions exist. Just cause some attention whore on TikTok slapped a label on herself doesn't mean there aren't actual people suffering from the condition she's LARPing about having.
>>16979139As someone who worked with profoundly autistic kids through elementary/middle/high school, someone needs to slap these spergs and show them what real autistic retards are like.
>>16979455Provide another explanation why there are non-verbal kids wearing diapers and being unable to handle loud noises? If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...
>>16979605>>16979559Industrially-funded autism "experts" are largely responsible for enabling an industry to flood tiktok with false information about autism. It's not subtle at all. Reddit is full of bots, this is confirmed, and you will find neurodiversity and autism "positivity" which is barely disguised fetishization of diagnostic slop.For some peculiar reason, there are interest parties very keen on making people, especially women, believe they have autism. Since confirmed debilitating autism rates in children are skyrocketing, you can add 2+2 and figure out yourself what the PR action actually intends to achieve. Even with expanded definitions of autism, it simply didn't use to be the case that 5-6 % of all boys had it.
>>16979778does anyone still use reddit? i know google sometimes wont show you anything but reddit threads when you ask things but last time i visited the frontpage it was full with tranny propaganda and literal soft porn and no i don't browse this stuff on reddit
>>16979139A combination of>Older parents>Wider definitions of autism>More access to diagnosisThere is *some* degree of overdiagnosis of autism, but its smaller than people complain about.
>>16979305>The clinical requirements for autism include distress and social impairmentI COULD HAVE FUCKING TOLD YOU WOMEN CAN'T HAVE AUTISM
>>16979139Shitty food. Its affecting the brain-gut axis by killing the good bacteria in the gut, which is responsible for A LOT
>>16979800>Older parentsNot relevant>Wider definitions of autismDefinitions didn't change>More access to diagnosisMandatory screening of autism in the USA has been a thing since 2002.
>>16979784Reddit doesn't have adds so it's obvious that its goal isn't to entertain you. I don't have the information, there was some guy on here who knew a lot about the companies behind reddit, but the typical redditor attitude, usually some combination of faggy, pretentious, always right and "if you don't agree with me I will harass you", is deliberately fostered to bully people into accepting legit retarded views.
>>16979737>It's a spectrumSorry gatekeeper bro, autism is for everyone!
>>16979903The spectrum narrative is meaningless.All it does is wrongly suggest to people that the not diagnosed spergy engineer in their office and the brain-damaged kid trashing his parent's house are somehow manifestations of the same thing.
>>16979841>Definitions didn't changeWrong. Asperger's got rolled into autism spectrum disorder. >Mandatory screening of autism in the USA has been a thing since 2002.Nope.
>>16979919>Wrong. Asperger's got rolled into autism spectrum disorder. Was previously already included in estimates + DSM-5 definition made autism criteria in fact stricter.>Nope.stfu, retard. Instead of denying legal work, you might wonder why so many kids now turn retar... i mean "autistic".
>>16979934>denying legal workHere's a thought. Why don't you cite this mandatory testing since 2002? >DSM-5 definition made autism criteria in fact stricter.So you accept the definition did in fact change.
>>16979938ding ding ding.If autism criteria got stricter, why is there more of it?
>>16979139People having children at older ages, which is something we already know causes higher likelihood of autism
>>16979941false
>>16979939>If autism criteria got stricter, why is there more of it?You now claim it got stricter, after claiming it hadn't changed at all. You have not cited this tightening.The obvious answer to more diagnosis is more testing, especially people later in life.
>>16979139shame that she ruined herself with tattoos and piercings
>>16979941Correct.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22525954/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7396152/https://academic.oup.com/ije/article-abstract/43/1/107/736982?redirectedFrom=fulltext
>>16979911Too bad the world doesn't care about your contrarianism nor your desire to redefine words to fit whatever narrative you wish to promote.
>>16979946which the spectrum shit isn't because of what?>>16979943Sure, but the change was in 2013 which is 13 years ago. Now, are we supposed to believe that the rates doubled because of expanded criteria?
>>16979945A lot of autistic people, many undiagnosed, become parents at older ages due to problems with forming/maintaining relationships.
>>16979980This is pretty baseless speculation, now is it?Mhmm. everything but admitting it's vaccines.Retard alert!
>>16979139For me they act as penis harden tools desu.
