Why are Autism Diagnostic Numbers Increasing?

"Autism?! We didn't have all this autism stuff when I was growing up! Oh my gosh! There are so many Autistic People now! This is an epidemic! Autistic People are everywhere, all of the sudden! Where did they come from?" 

Have you heard this nonsense? Have you heard this nonsense?! 

Hey humans, Lyric here, and this week I'm going to be talking about why autism numbers have been going up over the past several years, and why there IS NO Autism Epidemic and this, actually, is a good thing. 

Patreon members and YouTube channel members had access to this video on September 30, 2021. The video’s public release will be November 3, 2021. 

It's important that we all understand, that as Autistic People, there is not a unified autistic experience. We all have different opinions and very different experience, and I think it's great to share those things. 

If you're a NeuroTypical watching, remember that this is just my experience as a NeuroDivergent Person. 

Hopefully, this video will inspire other NeuroDivergent People to share their experiences as well, how they relate, and maybe even do not relate in the comments below. 

I encourage you to listen to, and read, as many Autistic experiences as possible to best understand Autistic People.

I would LOVE to see more Autism vlogs by #ActuallyAutistic People.
