... and apparently, that's not legal even though it's perfectly within the rules of the game, because the House must come out ahead, and you must lose!
I guess we can keep going with this title style forev..[Just no! - Ed.] No, seriously as opposed to "ADHD victims" we can be sure there ARE actually Autistic men. (OK, women too, but the traditional diagnoses of this mental problem for real skew 4:1 male:femaie.*)
Like Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man - "Rain Man" is how the autistic Charlie Babbitt remembers his brother Raymond**, played by Tom Cruise - portrays an example of a serious case. It's just a movie, but this mental condition is real and can be bad enough such that the (dare I say) patient cannot live a normal life and it's a big burden on the parents. I highly recommend this 1988 movie just for entertainment and heart-string-pulling value.
I've told this anecdote before: There was a contest at a Halloween party in which one could get a jar or 2 of Candy Corn for coming closest to guessing the number of pieces in each of the 2 jars. (Candy Corn is great stuff! It's REAL corn you know ... well, High Fructose Corn Syrup, so yeah, right?.) I told my then 6 y/o son to pick round numbers (to the nearest 5), just to teach him the difference between precision and accuracy. He picked 125 and 140 - something like that - and got them BOTH RIGHT ON THE MONEY! That bit of luck, and it WAS, thankfully, because one would know if his child's got mental problems like REAL autism, called for some Rain Man toothpick and Las Vegas card-counting jokes, of course.
In the ex-iSteve threads on The Unz Review, there was some discussion on the changes in rates of Autism diagnoses. The increase has been phenomenal or ridiculous, depending on how you explain it. Let's look back.
If you go back too far, you'll get muddled definitions of Autism, often including other serious mental problems. However, by the mid 1960s what exactly IS autistic was being sorted out. Per this website***:
Leading up to the creation of the Diagnostic Statistical Manual, in 1965 psychologist Victor Lotter developed a list of behavioral statements for identifying and diagnosing autism. Teachers of 76,388 children between the ages of 8 and 10 attending schools in the Middlesex area completed the test. Children identified by teachers were then further assessed to confirm their autism.A nice chart from the times when Psychiatrists would not mince words follows. Numbers of autists were estimated:
Lotter believed this was sufficient data to diagnose autism, which was considered a behavioral condition at the time. He noted the initial prevalence of autism within a population of 4.5 in 10,000.(That's 1 in ~2,200 for our readers in del Boca Vista. Also, the use of the term "behavioral condition" is interesting.). They hadn't separated out "childhood schizophrenia" from autism until 1980 per this interesting reading, but then this schizophrenia, thankfully, must have been low, as the numbers of autistic kids did not go down. Autism was a "Communication Disorder" in the '70s and became a "Pervasive Developmental Disorder" by the next decades. The numbers then like this:
The new understanding of autism and the neurodevelopmental aspects of the disorder expanded the diagnostic criteria. Now, ‘Impairments of reciprocal social interaction’ were reported to occur in 21.2 of every 10,000 children in the area studied, of whom 4.9 presented with a history of ‘typical autism.’I detect some mission creep already in those early 1980s. I'd almost forgotten about this one:
In 1981, she [Either one of Psychiatrists Lorna Wing or Judith Gould - the writer is far from an autist here - just careless.] coined the term ‘Asperger’s syndrome’ after reclaiming a 1944 article on autism by Hans Asperger.We'll get back to that. OK 1 in 2,000 or so children being autistic is believable. I was around in the 1980s and even prior. I didn't know anyone in the whole school who was autistic, but then, they may still have been at separate schools, and this would have meant only been a handful or two or three would live in the area by probabilities. DIMS? (Does It Make Sense?). Yes.
If you search for numbers for the modern day, you'll see blurbs that worry that the 1 in 35 autism occurrence ratio of 5 years ago has gone up even higher, to 1 in 30! This is very obviously garbage. Has autism increased by a factor of 60 over 45 years? DIMS? No.
To digress only slightly here, Peak Stupidity has been dead-set against the mandatory Kung Flu jab since the beginning of the PanicFest. It was my personal reason that I wasn't worried about the Kung Flu to start with that had me neither caring about nor wanting this "vaccine". Then it was the mandate part - not what you do in any kind of free country, then, the more personal, corporate mandate threats, and finally there was the politics. We (my immediate family and all other family members but one) took a rain man(?) check.
OK, that pun is there for a reason - it's funny. Also, before the whole Kung Flu Infotainment, there already WAS an anti-vax movement. Parents had their various reasons for not wanting vaccinations for their kids. Just the sheer number of them required (NOT! Don't let them tell you that.) might be a little worrisome to anyone. It's in the many dozens, heck, maybe toward 100! Generally, the biggest worry has been that the vaccines' "medium", if you will, the base material, may cause autism. I will not argue any of that here. It should be enough to say that these vaccines should not be mandatory.
We're talking autism here. If there has been a rise, maybe a big one, of this mental problem due to vaccines, it still did not bring the occurrence ratio of autism to 1 in 30. That's a ludicrous number. That'd be 10 people at the elementary school. No. Way. Now that doesn't meant that this school might not CLAIM that there are 10 kids with autism there... and more with Asperger's ... and more with ADHD... hell, the only normal kid is that one boy on the monkey bars, and he's still a little off, hanging upside down and screaming "I'm a bat! I'm a bat!" (Fond memories, indeed!)
Peak Stupidity discussed the reasons for the high number of "diagnoses" of ADHD and such last time. Teachers don't want to deal with boys with lots of energy. Parents might not like to hear that their kids are not normal, but then the perks for being a victim of "a diseases" are not bad, not bad at all.
In the case of diagnoses of autism, the 1st factor is not present, but the 2nd is. Additionally, I present another factor that applies for ALL of these supposed mental conditions that have someone greatly increased in the population of American kids. What was once personality is now a syndrome.
Seriously autistic people have this focus on detail, sometimes - "autistic savant" is the term - with amazing mental skills at the expense of social skills. Unfortunately, for serious cases, the latter means they really can't function in society. A kid said to have autism these days is a boy who is very focused, maybe, yes, at the expense of some social skills, but so freaking what? That's his personality! Not everyone is a "people person". What "people people" don't understand at all is that not everyone WANTS to be a people person.
So, there you have your kid, or just as likely, that kid in the class you teach, who knows more about glazes for clay than you ever cared about. Maybe he loves the math and you think this is kind of obsessive, as why would anyone like math? (I mean, you barely got through that damn college algebra getting that Masters in Ed, by the skin of your
We're not just talking children here. How about all the adults officially diagnosed as having one of these syndromes, when they are nothing but people with differing personalities? "Doesn't play well with others." Do people who do "play well with others" ever realize that there are people who DON'T WANT to play well or AT ALL with others? Most of them COULD play well with others (something that these others don't get), but they LIKE being by themselves ... a lot! This is not a mental problem. I would conjecture that it's those people who would go crazy spending a whole day by themselves that have mental problems! ... but I won't ... because it's just personality... and Peak Stupidity has an atmosphere of tolerance and diversity here.... [/Michael Scott]
Now, the mission creep of these syndromes involves classifying people as "on the spectrum". "He might seem just pretty rowdy, but you need to know where he falls on the ADHD spectrum" "You say he's just a bit shy, but that means he's somewhere - on the low end, mind you, so don't fret - on the autism spectrum." They've got spectra for everything now - I'm not sure how the BLT-G++ crowd likes the appropriation of their beloved rainbows for mental problems, a totally different thing... no, wait....
There you go: "Your child is just a little over the rainbow... somewhere... way up high..."
Peak Stupidity has discussed this spectrum business before. I would hope anyone who has referred to me as being "on the spectrum" is only talking about the supplements I may need for extra magnesium (can't get enough of that stuff!)
These kids, the ones who are a little different, because personalities do vary, you know, should properly be said to be "on the Flintstones":
Finally, perhaps it's the schoolteachers and the principals (NOT!) those who want all the kids to be equal cogs in the machine, who are OFF the visible spectrum, and that's the problem. Some lie way below the red in the microwave range, frying the brains of all around them. Others are on the other side, in the Ultraviolet, giving off an aura that causes disease but does at least enhance drug experimentation.
There's one part of the spectrum we all need to stay off, and that part goes from ~50 to 200 MHz - the TV band! Peak Stupidity recommends one treatment to help people get off that spectrum. It's called Federal 125 grain NYCLAD™ .38 Hollow-Point. Kill your TV!
OK, look, no, show tunes are not a thing here on Peak Stupidity. (This is not Mark Steyn here.) Yet, the song is in my head now, after all this talk about spectra. From the old classic The Wizard of Oz, it's Judy Garland. The lyrics are very good I just realized.****
This post was nuts! OK, have a happy Sunday, Peakers. Enjoy your place on the spectrum!
* The ratio was bound to change as the total numbers increased greatly due to the factors discussed here.
** ... and, IMDB has this backwards, or, I should say, the unpaid "content providers" do.
*** It's called He's Extraordinary and is a site for "extraordinary people", their way of saying autistic (and maybe for other mental problems). I just don't like the euphemisms. I'm sure this terminology CAN make a parent of an autistic kid feel better until, as always, the general population gets the meaning after a while, and it'll be said with sadness. OTOH, as with the Rain Man in the movie, some of these people ARE extraordinary, and not just extra ordinary.
**** I tend to HATE movie musicals, so I tend to zone out waiting for the story to continue.

I didn't catch Steve's post or two criticizing the new "woo-woo" "crazy" theories of the MAGA/Conservative types. (Or perhaps I did because they are not recent?) I don't know why Steve would dismiss the idea that exposure to chemicals or toxins might not be healthy as 𝑤𝑜𝑜-𝑤𝑜𝑜 or 𝑐𝑟𝑎𝑧𝑦. Seems pretty obvious that exposure to flouride, glyphosate, benzene, dioxin, flame retardants, air pollution, thimerosal, aluminum adjuvant, human diploid cell lines like WI-38 and MRC-5, pesticides, etc. ad infinitum, is not good for your health and might actually be harmful. I don't know why that would be controversial.
About the autism... Mrs. Smith has a friend who has a deeply autistic granddaughter. Completely non-functioning. Completely non-verbal. (Not just shy.) But this girl is an IVF baby. I know it's not fashionable to link IVF to poor health outcomes, but I think there is a connection. (Unfortunately, IVF is too profitable to criticize in this way.)

PS: Yeah, I came upon Mike Tre's link on SS thread #6 also, Adam. We have not run into anything like this. Our pediatrician, who we have not seen but once every few years lately, is a very nice older lady. You just gotta think on your feet - mumble some agreement, but don't just blindly up and follow everything they have to say.
My example was not so big a deal, as this same Doc thought we should come back for a check-up in 3 months when this boy didn't talk very much at 2 y/o. Now, I don't know if it was about ker-ching! or ass-covering. (I like this lady and tend to favor only the latter.) My wife and I looked at each other thinking, "yeah, right... no, we're not coming back in 3 months, because he's fine." He was, but we'd humored the Doc by saying "we'll call in 3 months if he's not talking more."
I think it'd have been funny, if we did call. The Doc asks "How's his speech now?" "Fine." "Yeah, well put him on the phone." Uh oh. No, he talked just fine once he needed to in a pre-school, but he was too shy to have talked to the Doc on the phone anyway.
If you recall, I wrote a post about that survey when we needed an official physical for sports. It was ridiculous. If I had any small concern, I felt comfortable talking to this Doc, but I'd be damned if I put anything on that 100-200 question survey that wasn't very obviously a negative on whatever it was getting at. Don't put anything they can use against you... somehow. It's not Normal Rockwell world anymore here.

PS: I could not reach your Lesbian Snow White page, but I'll try it later on another device, Adam.
Yes, seriously, I should have included those factors too, the many incentives. I may still insert something on that or add an update post.
I don't have enough knowledge about all these environmental factors. Does any branch of the Government, any government, do controlled studies? (Hard to have a control group on some of this, as it's so widespread.) Steve Sailer wrote a post or two criticizing the new "woo-woo" "crazy" theories of the MAGA/Conservative types. It used to be mainly those on the left, the ex- and current hippies, who cared about this sort of thing. Did they all get sucked into the belief in Big Government over the last few decades such that they don't question any of this?
Of course, with this site named as it is, I can believe lots of theories on why people are losing, or being born with fewer IQ points, as it really seems to be the case. Regarding autism, I would agree that a change like double, triple, whatever is possible from these environmental hazards, but 60x? As I wrote, you'd see people like the Rain Man's brother all over. Thankfully, it's not like that!

Moar seriously though... I think much of the increase in autism and add/adhd rates has to do with the fact that parents receive SSI checks for their "disabled" children and schools receive extra funding for each special ed student. (Children with an Individualized Education Program.) This creates a perverse incentive for parents and schools alike to (mis)diagnose as many children as possible with one of these conditions. (I was going to say disorder but that might be ableist or something.)
Combine these incentives with teacher population ever on the lookout for kids in desperate need of adderall/ritalin and a culture that rewards "disabled" students with extra accommodation (smaller classrooms, tutors, extra time allotted for test taking, and whatever other perks there might be that I don't know about) and you have a nifty recipe for skyrocketing autism/adhd rates.
However, there may indeed be more people "on the spectrum", for lack of a better term, than there used to be. Stephanie Seneff seems to think that glyphosate is interacting with the aluminum found in pediatric vaccines to help cause the (alleged?) explosion in autism/adhd rates. (I don't know if she's correct, I'm just throwing it out there. In any case, I do not believe that glyphosate exposure is good for a developing brain.) We know that flame retardants significantly lower IQ as does fluoride and lead in municipal water supplies. Industrial and agricultural pollution is also harmful. (Environmental toxins are cumulative.) As is (subsidized) dysgenic fertility.
I guess the point I'm (eventually) trying to make is that there are many reasons that IQs are decreasing across the "developed" world. Perhaps some of these autism/adhd diagnoses are just stupid, low IQ retards being diagnosed with a condition instead of parents admitting to themselves that their kids are just stupid.(?)

If you cannot spot the autist in the room, it may be you.
I was the ADHD/autist of the class. Constantly sent outside to run or to the library to read rather than kept in class answering all the questions and not letting the other students give it a go.

I'd never thought about problems from this method of conception. That's too bad about the little one.
Those Steve Sailer posts, on his stevesailer.net WERE a good while ago. The one I remember specifically is something I'll see if I can look up there.
