Experiment Why do you think autism rates have risen so much among males?

Autism seems to have a deterimental impact on sub 8 males, but the problem is that in recent decades rates of autism have risen in males. What do you think is the main cause of this?

Isn't it because parents are having children later in life?

Yes thanks didn't think of that, added that as a possible option.

the first 3 are nonsense tbh, very little to do with NT/autism. it's just more people are actually diagnosed nowadays

I thought there might be some people here that thought otherwise so I made it a possible option.

yeah. I think technology and environmental factors can contribute to antisocial behavior but not autism. if you're very attractive and have a good environment then high functioning autism won't impact you as much but it's still a genuine disorder that you have to live with
