the elephant in the room no one wants to talk is the increasing numbers of disabled kids no one wants to talk about it because if you told the population you have a 5-10% of having severe disabled kid natality rates will drop even faster. even young mothers and fathers are experiencing the increased risk of disabilities in their children so age is clearly not largest culprit if it even is a culprit at all. no one knows for sure but a lot of much smarter people than us are saying that it is most likely the work of some pollutant that have increased in quantity over the last two decades, micro plastics is one of those pollutants that have been brought up many times as a likely source of this but it's almost blind speculation since no one knows for sure how 90% of the shit our industries pumps out into the biosphere actually affects the human body in the long term, the few who might know are either hiding their know for profit or doesn't care enough to spread awareness of it chart doesn't really convey the catastrophic extent of the problem - to come out of almost nowhere and accelerate exponentially like that without any sign of slowing and without any serious investigation by health authorities is scary and shocking the black pill that humanity is becoming unable at exponential rate to have healthy kids is too hard to swallow for the "muh legacy" conservatives. for their mind is easier ignore the problem and think this will never happen to them that try to find a solution overdiagnosis theory doesn't make semse as 40% are non verbal and nearly 78 percent of children with autism have at least one co-occurring mental health condition (science daily, january 2021) > microplastics > air polution > weed during teen ages > tatto ink > paracetamol abuse > hair loss drugs we don't really know
