The sheet is fake news/fake information even if only subtle.

>Autism now affects 1 in 59 children.
It should read: 1 in 59 children are now diagnosed with autism.

>The rate of autism has steadily grown over the last twenty years.
It should read: the number of people diagnosed with autism has steadily grown over the last twenty years.

>Children with autism do progress - early intervention is key.
There is no proof that common intervention programs really have any positive influence on the trajectory of autism in children. It also ignores that roughly 20 % of all children diagnosed with autism eventually drop below the threshold needed for an autism diagnosis more or less independently of how many autistic straits they showed during their early infancy.

>What do you think is the real cause of autism?
The problem already starts with defining what autism is. It's actually a set of behavior traits. Because it relies on external evaluation of the patient, autism is actually a syndrome. Some choose to call it mental illness/disorder instead. The point is, that autism has become so vaguely defined that people diagnosed with autism can hardly be summarized or grouped together beyond the one core trait: abnormal social behavior.
On the question what's the reason for people having autistic traits. It's ultimately mostly genetics like so many things.

This. I am autistic. My dad's brother's kid (basically my cousin from my dad's side) has Down Syndrome. My dad's line is definitely mentally fucked.

By the way, I actually spin around myself every day and I have been doing this since I was 3 years old.Me think very close to being dysfunctional autistic.

>>11676089
What do you mean spin around yourself and what does it have to do with autism?

>>11676117
When I’m nervous, or excited, I put loud music on and spin on the spot. It’s helps me a lot. And no I never get dizzy. I pretty much never skip leg day and now my legs are strong as fuck too. Not all is bad?

Look up spinning and autism.

Nothing is known definitively, but here's a page with a few hypotheses as to its mechanism:

>The rate of autism has steadily grown over the last twenty years.

I've had a pet theory for several years that autism rates used to appear lower because a lot more people were self-medicating with nicotine. I looked it up just now and it looks like researchers have noticed.

Autists don't smoke.

Autism seems to be an extreme deficiency in social intelligence.

>Autists don't smoke.
Exactly. Obsessively following rules set by parents and teachers makes autistics less likely to try smoking than the general population which itself has a record low smoking rate. 50+ years ago when it was socially normalized and the health effects weren't well known this probably wasn't the case.

You know absolutely nothing about autism.

You know absolutely nothing about autism. Autists don't obsessively follow the rules (it's kind of a problem that they don't) and they usually hate smoking.

That has nothing to do with autism;nicotine works as an antidote against antipsychotics.

>they usually hate smoking
I agree but do you think this is nature or nurture? Do autistics biologically hate smoking, or is having an autistic brain and seeing thousands of anti-smoking commercials and similar things as a child what does it? I think the second option is more likely; meaning in earlier times fewer autistics would hate smoking.

>>11678183
>Do autistics biologically hate smoking,
Yes.
>having an autistic brain and seeing thousands of anti-smoking commercials and similar things as a child what does it? I think the second option is more likely;
Which again proves you know nothing about autists. They are less influenced by such things. If you suspect autists doing or not doing something because of peer or otherwise social pressure, you know nothing about autists. It's more or less the core feature that they need rational arguments to accept something (which is what neurotypical society refuses to give them, they only try to manipulate or pressure them into things, which has the opposite effects and alienates them from the person). Which is also why only with neurotypical society that is the problem, when they can discuss things with each other, there is no problem with anything.

Maybe they just have children earlier. But it isn't hereditary, it's from the chromosomes being copied incorrectly.
