I would like to point out you can find evidence of autism always existing in folklore as well. Such as the described behavior of Changelings from Celtic fairy folklore.

They presented this info like a freshman in college uses a source from Google Scholar: read the title and make a conclusion that fits your argument

I've always said it's a different running system, like some people use Mac computers and some use windows, but both can run most of the same programs

Albert Einstein wear his socks inside out because he did not like the way it seams felt on them. And that was if he was forced to wear socks because he preferred to have nothing on his feet at all, which is why he sometimes wore women’s open toe shoes.

So many mothers are blaming themselves. I have a daughter who is autistic, and I never took Tylenol, and I blamed myself for sooo long before I accepted that it was nothing I did. 😭 Thank you so much for posting this, and I am an absolute wreck after watching that beautiful scene with you and your brother at the end. 😭😭😭

Can we also point out that it's more prevalent because there are also more people now? Global population has boomed and that means the genetic traits are more common. Always remember that eugenics is alive and well in the modern age as is sexism and control before you ever try to blame a single factor. Your brother's sheer joy is infectious and the sound of your own happiness brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing this with us.

I saw that press conference and I’m not taking advice from someone who can’t even pronounce “acetaminophen.” That was so embarrassing to watch as an American citizen. Like that man is leading our country into what? Ruin?
