Any memes aside, why is that autism seem to disproportionately affect young males? Even though Autism is a disease that infects people for their whole entire life, every single news story, article, or psychology profile seems to describe autism within a paradigm of children and young adults. The oldest Autistic person I've seen displayed in any piece of media about autism was in his early 30s. Look up "Autism" on google and you have pictures of children and articles dedicated for handling autism in children (pic related.) Look up Autism on youtube and every single result depicts a child or a young man. PBS just did a story tonight featuring Autistic children and young adults, but why does there seem not to be any elderly or middle aged autistic people? Did something happen in the late 70s, 80s, 90s, and today that caused increased rates of Autism in comparison to previous decades? Why does there not seem to be any historical record of autism? Why is autism a disease that affects almost always males? Could it have been a change in our food or our air or our water that caused this? Autism seems to be genetic, but if that's so, why has it only appeared in recent times?

You shouldn't blame autism on such a theory.
Old people aren't autistic, they're "freaks".
Woman aren't autistic, they're "quirky".
You should be asking "why are young males disproportionately diagnosed with autism" and you're probably really curious about aspergers.
Next time someone says "I'm so ocd" you could be a sperg and tell them that what they really mean is that they're "so ocpd" which is an "autism spectrum" personality disorder. This shit is fucking retarded mods should shut this thread down.
