Please explain the increase in the rate of autism since 1995.

All the publications I have read have shown roughly 20%-25% is increased awareness.

This is a worldwide phenomenon and nobody knows why. In Korea it is seen as a mark of shame but they have one of the highest incidences in the world.

If you can explain it then you should have a Nobel Prize.

Please email me a picture of your Nobel Prize...I have never actually known someone who received one.

This kids story has fascinated me for years as a late diagnosed autist myself. He really came out of his shell and might even seem hyper if you watch his TedX talk. Today I am high functioning, but nowhere near being a brainiac like Jacob.

Most mental illnesses are increasing.

Everyone has a metal illness.

In the 1970s you suddenly saw a massive spike in child leukemia and of course people attributed this to pollution, bla bla bla. The real reason is simple to understand but to this day not discussed. Kids were ALWAYS dying at a certain rate from leukemia, only in the 60s-70s we began testing/diagnosing this disease, so guess what happened? It suddenly shot up. If you look at the prevalence of certain diseases you realize that it’s not that this disease is new or increasing, it’s just that we never had this diagnosis, testing for it, and collection of data prior.

People have been getting fatter too. Maybe we need more fat acceptance to help out with awareness: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_positivity
Fat people suffer a lot, to include their self image. This school needs a week to discuss this VITAL subject as well. Fat kids think about suicide more often, so it’s important that we spend a week making people aware of this issue too!!! https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9079098/

You tell me, where does it end?
