The 12 graphs #autism deniers don’t want you to see.
You don’t have to believe that vaccines cause autism (I don’t) to appreciate the breathtaking reality of the autism epidemic. A 🧵.
1. Even limited to cases with intellectual disability, autism rates have clearly skyrocketed. Image 2. The CDC saw a sharp increase in autism prevalence in its first investigation, the MADDSP study.

I just read Irreversible Damage by @AbigailShrier about the phenomenon of soaring rates of F to M transition in girls and young women. Bravo to her for highlighting this, it should be a subject of societal concern — why is it happening, what are the risks? (Thread) I found it puzzling however that the book offered a purely sociological theory — that girls are choosing to transition due to social contagion, subtle pressures from professionals, and a desire to alleviate pains of anxiety, depression, isolation. To me, this is dubious.
