So it all boils down to this: WHAT IS HAPPENING TODAY?

The later birth age is definitely a contributor.

I think the biggest reason is that our society has generally gotten a lot safer, so taking care of an autistic child is actually possible. In the past, it would have meant their death.

Our technological advancement also favours autistic people. So those with slight autistic traits excel in their field and have a chance to pro-create, increasing the trait in the gene pool.

Close friends who got married total up got 6 of us. 3 of them got autistic kids. Incident rate 50%. It's crazy

I think back then the amount of autistic also same. Just they wont be so severe because lack of screen time. And got huge amount of human interaction to force the conformity. Imagine siblings banyak, out of 4 ekor only 1 autistic. The other 3 will have some way to pressure the autistic one to be more normal.

From what i observe. those non functional autism is solely due to lack of guide from the surrounding peers. Those with parents heavily involved and well informed in regards to autism, those who do early intervention from age 2 onwards have much better outcome than those that sit back and pray the kids are just in the phase, they WANT to believe they can outgrow the autism. End up by age 7 only they start to accept their kids are autistics.
