You think it was always there but autistic kids then were labeled "crazy" or weird? I strongly believe that our hormones and system can be affected by outside things such as pollution (any kind of it)

Perhaps because it's the easy way, just blame some chemical instead of taking action. If you move to a friendly neighbourhood and have some rules about screentime kids play outside, I know from experience with my own kids.
I'm no expert, but I suspect a strong correlation in autism development and 'hours spend in front of a screen instead of playing outside with peers'.
Everyone out of the inner city!

Autism is usually diagnosed at 24 to 36 months - you're saying that the toddlers are playing too many video games and not spending enough time building treeforts?
