      Bad Graph says: 0.75% of 8 year olds were diagnosed in 2000 versus 3.2% in 2020.

      Correlation =/= causation.

      How have the diagnostic criteria changed in 20 years? Autism was a stigma when I was in high school in 2000, now it’s a spectrum. Are there routine screenings at pediatricians now?

      Number go up, but what else go up simultaneously?

      I hate it here.
