how can we tell there's been an upgrade?

I hope RFKJ gets to why so many kids these days are autistic. When I was growing up in the 70s, it was super rare to encounter an autistic kid. Now, every school has a classroom(s) dedicated to them.

Pretty simple if you are able and attempt to understand it:

DSM-III (1980): Defined autism as a separate disorder from schizophrenia. Increased diagnosis rate above 1 in 1,400 by 1987.

DSM-IV (1994): Introduced the concept of autism spectrum; included Asperger's disorder and other related disorders. Diagnosis rate rose to 1 in 150 in early 2000s.

DSM-5 (2013): Unified autism spectrum disorder under one category. by 2016, 1 in 54 children had been diagnosed with autism by age eight.


We're still in pretty early stages of understanding autism the evolution of its diagnosis reflects that. Thinking we had it all sussed out since you were a child is just not correct. You were "encountering" them all along.

And also, why so much trans lunacy in the west.

Define lunacy. We're just getting around to not automatically murdering this 1% of the population, so they'll naturally be a bit more visible than before. Now your media consumption seems to consist of a lot more than 1% trans coverage, so your panic is proportionate.

Do you somehow believe previous administrations weren't partisan in their selection of Executive staff?

Oh that’s (D)ifferent

of course not

for example, there has never been a Democrat leading the FBI

but in seriousness Yoni, we haven't had partisan purges like this since the 19th century

[Winehole23]

what a disgustingly obsequious toady you are

Why, when people like Chris Wray and James Comey will ignore your misdeeds while dragging your Republican counterparts through the mud.

You say these things as if they mean something to anyone.

What's your Trump appointed Chris Wray conspiracy theory here?

He's quite the thorn in the old side, eh, tights?

tee, hee.

What's your Trump appointed Chris Wray conspiracy theory here?

Trump made mistake and paid for it.

Wray though had the decency to quit in the interim.

Buh, bye.

Trump canned a black four star general and replaced him with a statutorily unqualified DEI candidate
