The same trends and discussion are happening in the UK. I have written about it on The Autism Tribune - many times. The numbers go up and there is always an excuse. Greater recognition, overdiagnosis, wider diagnostic categorisation, benefit fraud ... never a real growth. Nor is there any discussion of the pain and despair of seeing children regress into lifelong disability. Nor of the potential biological causes which should be the focus of intensive research.
It is truly shocking. The expert class are failing us all. It is a massive dereliction of duty. Please keep speaking up. Eventually something will have to change.
Thanks for the comment Jane, and for sharing about this topic. I understand your frustration. Yes the expert class is failing us....but it is more than just the expert class. Journals are captured, industry paid experts are given platforms when at the same time any expert who tries to dissent is censored, loses their license, and is humiliated. But...we have to keep going! I look forward to checking out your posts.
