We receive frequent questions about the increase incidents of autism, and our providers frequently mentioned the increased screening and diagnosis tools over the last 50 years. This chart is a great representation o.

Let’s take a look at the how and most importantly *why* the numbers of Autism diagnosis have increased over time. Remember = more autism diagnosis does not equal more autistic people.

Note: the two biggest “jumps” come 1️⃣ After Autism was added to the DSM and then 2️⃣ When the diagnostic criteria increased, allowing more people access to an Autism diagnosis.

If we used the same criteria as 1970 (“extreme social withdrawal, obsessive desire for sameness, lack of speech/highly unusual speech patterns”) we would have significantly less diagnosed people. If we also only determined who was Autistic based off of teacher questionnaires or medical documentation from people who have never heard of Autism, especially at a time when disabled people were hidden from society, we’d ALSO have significantly less numbers of diagnosed people. Put those two together and that’s how early prevalence numbers were captured.
