Autism rates are surging - should we be worried?

NAS66915

I just read about a recent CDC report stating autism rates have increased by nearly 10 percent over the last two years. Should we be worried?

  • I believe that most auties/aspies could function perfectly well is society up until the 80s - that's when life started to get really complicated and the self-absorbed/greedy/selfish NTs really excelled.

    Before that, you bought the gas from the gas company, the electricity from the electric company, you had a job for life and a good pension.     After then, it got so competitive that we couldn't compete on an even playing field so we started to fail at the new game.     We stood out and got noticed.  

    Life now is sooooo complex that we don't stand a chance so we are easily spotted and counted.
