National Geographic 2024/11/27 [Omitted] The number of diagnosed cases of autism in the United States is on the rise. According to a study published in the medical journal JAMA Network Open on October 30, 2024, which examined data from over 9 million people per year from 2011 to 2022, the rate has increased by 175% over the past 10 years. The largest increase by age was seen in those between 24 and 36 years old, at 450%, while the increase for women was greater than that for men, at over 300% at all ages. [Omitted] Experts believe this explosion is due to increased awareness of autism and a broadening of the clinical definition to include conditions such as Asperger’s syndrome. But at the same time, there is a growing understanding that autism symptoms can be very different from what was once thought. “The prevailing stereotype is still that autism is a childhood disorder that causes people to retreat into their own world, to become isolated from their society and their community, and to suffer and be sad,” says Monique Botha, an autism psychologist at Durham University in the UK, whose research focuses on stigma around autism. “The reality of autism is far removed from these stereotypes.” ● Autism in women is often overlooked Autism spectrum disorders are developmental disorders characterized by differences in communication, learning, and behavior. People with ASD often have a restricted range of interests and repetitive behaviours. For example, they may have a strong interest in trains, know sports statistics by heart, or have a very predictable daily routine. More source.
>>4 It’s a valid clinical name according to WHO standards It was just removed from the 5th edition of the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic Manual.
If you read the original article, it says that excessive input makes people stressed out, which leads to strange behavior. So you’re picking up information that other people ignore. I see, now I understand the reasoning behind >>5.
>For example, they might have a strong interest in trains, >have sports statistics memorized, >or have a very predictable daily routine. Hmm, that’s true.
Forced childbirth is an imposition of mental illness. Parents who are obsessed with forced childbirth are crazy, so it’s only natural that mentally ill people are on the rise. It’s only natural that psychiatry has developed and come to light.

Even after they become adults, there are kids who burst into tears when asked to give a presentation in front of everyone. Now that I think about it, that must be what ASD is like.
I’m a woman, but I think it’s not that female development is hard to spot, but that it’s the fact that development is the default, so it’s hard to tell the difference.
There was a study in the past that said autism is less prevalent in girls because it’s not well known, but there are a lot of people suffering from it over there too. Did you start getting tested all at once? >>36 If you have ADHD, or rather ADD, you’re popular, especially with girls, as it’s considered an advantage. “She’s sensitive and charming, thoughtful and a little naive, which is cute.”
I’m not interested in trains. I watch anime. I just skim through my textbook the day before the exam and so far I’ve passed every exam on the first try. I’m not interested in studying so I always get failing grades at school.
Is it the same in America? In Japan, men with developmental disabilities can’t get married and have children, so their genes are being steadily eliminated. But only women with developmental disabilities can get married and have children, so they’ve become carriers of developmental disabilities genes. So even now, strange children are being born, and they will become weak men and women in the future.
>>50 No, it’s not going to disappear. People with ADHD are popular and people with ASD traits are smart. Regardless of the serious guys, being light is actually advantageous for reproduction, so the offspring will continue to be serious.
>>50 The understanding boyfriend is also at fault. If you think “this guy seems a bit developmental,” you should break up or not have kids even if you get married.
I think excessive feminism has led to illnesses being overlooked. If there was gender equality, where men and women think on the same level, then crazy ideas would be exposed and not overlooked.
