I can't remember the last time I talked to a millennial who didn't self-diagnose as either ADHD, autism or both. I'm serious.

Is it possible that there's nothing wrong with our brains? 🤔

My theory is that the traits we associate with these conditions simply proliferate in bad environments, until they cause their reform or collapse.

Sort of like an immune response.

I have heard many observations that vaccines are increasing the ADHD and autism rates.

Another aspect that bothers me is that the definition of autism has changed dramatically.

In the 1980'ies, autism and introversion had very different meaning and there wasn't much overlap.

Nowadays, if you answer on an autism test that you are not very interested in going to parties - which is a typical introvert position - you are automatically placed on the autism spectrum.
