@LarryBig32707@NewstalkFM The major increase is because more awareness, information and a change in the diagnostic criteria. It’s not rocket science; if you care to do some basic research.
@Remy657754381 @iffabug@NewstalkFM How could something that impacts an individual because of genetics be a money making scam. A ludicrous thing to suggest. Maybe research a tiny bit.
@iffabug@NewstalkFM The level of ignorance on this thread is incredible. For those who have some experience and insight we are aware it’s a neuro developmental disorder. It’s not caused by lack of vitamins, vaccines or any other ridiculous outside influence.
@PoliticsWatch14@CorrCormac@McBonneville78@rtenews Why don’t you want Autistic people to represent you? What does that actually mean? 1 in 27 people are autistic so good chance you know many autistic people. Your comment regarding respite centre is incredibly ignorant.
@BaldwinIV1916 @lukeming How do you decide what a functional adult is? Unless you live with or spend a lot of time with another adult, you don’t get to make that decision. You can’t see what goes on outside of the public persona. You certainly don’t get to decide on whether a diagnosis is appropriate.
