They just improved the definitions and we have better diagnostic tools to identify it now chud, of course there's no evidence that autism has increased.

there's your answer. The "spectrum" is lumping normal human behaviors (asociality, introversion, obsessive interests) with dysfunctional retards.

>having children too late in life
Has nothing to do with autism brain damage.

People for tens of thousands of years had kids for as long as the woman could have them, usually until late 40s for women, since many kids were needed for farm labor or because of high infant mortality.

Men can have healthy kids until they die, just that their sperm-count decreases with poor diet and age.

People have stopped having kids later in life in recent decades, so the opposite of what you say might be the cause, too many young births and not enough mature births, besides environmental toxins like medications.

My great-grandparents had their first kid when they were in their late 20s and their last kid when they were both in mid 40s.That was in the early 1900s. Same with my dad and some of his first cousins, which was much later in the 1960s.
The huge increase in Autism cases has to be something in our diets or evironment. The "you are too old for babies" is just more Jewish plots to depopulate white goys.

This is actually part of it

There are more resources available if you have an autism diagnosis so more people seek one

>sperm quality declines i
Toxins do that, not a person's age. Older males just produce less sperm, making the odds of pregnancy a little more difficult, but has nothing to do with the quality of the sperm. Eating goyslop and being exposed to chemicals, wifi, 5G, medications, etc. are what affects sperm quality.

This is bullshit, as has previously been pointed out in this thread it's been the norm for most of human history for women to continue having children until death or menopause. The reason why people buy into this myth is because the broader autism phenotype is correlated with older age at the birth of your first child.

It's not having kids while old that causes autism, it's autism that causes having your first child when you're old.

[Anonymouse No.15365872]

it's because they continuously broaden the definition of autism each generation in order to retain useless made out of thin air jobs that sole purpose is to profit pharmaceutical companies

definitions, terms et cetera, similarly to borders exist for a reason - autism no longer means anything specific, and for accuracy what remains is its etymology

likely but doesn't cut it, severe autism cases have increased.

[Anonymous No.15365889]

whether or not the definition is broader is not likely the primary factor. it's most likely due to the fact that autism is more widely understood. people seek a diagnosis for conditions they wouldn't have before.

It is a sad reality that most people are too stupid to recognize obvious trends unless they are defined by painfully simple and objective metrics. For instance, if testosterone levels couldn't be measured by blood test, there would be an absolute sea of retards on here saying
>Testosterone levels haven't gone down, that's a myth! We've just expanded the diagnosis for testosterone deficiency!

Kids are obviously more autistic and mentally ill now than at any other point in history. However, because there is no autism blood test, we have to drone through all these retarded rationalizations.

1. The society has become increasingly neurotypical, which means that people who were within the norm are now treated as autistic.
2. Only autistic people tend to have children, contrary to what deranged leftists claim.

Overdiagnosis.

Started happening with ADHD 30 years ago. Now everyone the least bit fidgety gets put on Ritalin.
Started happening with depression and BPD 20 years ago. Now anyone the least bit mopey gets out on mood stabilizers.
Started happening with autism 10 years ago. Now everyone the least bit quiet or weird gets out in anti-psychotics.
Happening with gender dysphoria now. Now every boy the least bit effeminate gets their penis sliced off and any girl the least but tomboyish gets their tits lopped off.

And we wonder why rates of suicide and violence are skyrocketing.

"Only" is probably putting too fine a point on it, but I wouldn't at all be surprised if autists reproduce at greater rates than the enemy, ceteris paribus. Consistent with my experience as well as with the general observation that persecuted minorities experience greater reproductive drive.

Seeing patterns and correlations is so ingrained into us, that we have to consciously work against it sometimes. So the notion that some are too stupid is dumb in itself. Sure the rate of autism has gone up over the years, but that really just might be because it gets diagnosed much more reliably without autists falling through.

As an anecdotal note, an autist I know told me how he's the one who gets along with his dad the best among his siblings. When he asked his dad if he might have autism as well, he denied it with nah can't be. And apparently the dad's dad also comes off as pretty autistic.

Not that it really matters if someone is autistic or not. It's not like they're a burden usually unless they're one of the really hard cases where they're non-verbal.

>It's not having kids while old that causes autism, it's autism that causes having your first child when you're old.
You're right. Just like male semen is contributing most of the mutational load to the off-spring which 4chan doesn't want to hear either.

But it doesn't matter because old women causing autism isn't about autism. It's about 4chan-lets being mad that they couldn't score teenage pussy.

The other issue is that autism is a social construct and really just a label that people, primarily psychologists and parents, abuse to bully and brutalize people. Ever figured why your smart but socially distant/"not quite in tune with his conditioning" guy is diagnosed with the very same condition that renders someone else non-verbal and wheelchair-bound? It's not because of science. It's meant to stigmatize the guy for being 'socially different' and because the wheelchair vegetable is also 'socially different', they must be the same. This reasoning has then given rise to the 'spectrum' idea.

And since there's no autism test, it is pointless to ask whether or not autism rates have increased since there's no way to measure that in the first place. Your personal dislike of young children and where the generation is heading doesn't constitute a diagnosis either. Mental illness, by definition, is just socially undesirable behavior.
