I think it’s just the number of diagnoses made in that particular year. But it doesn’t matter because we know this graph is made up anyway. It’s a Trump administration putting it out, I bet not one of them knows how to get excel to output a bar chart, so instead it’s just random rectangles they’ve drawn.
I mean there is scientifically a rise in autism diagnoses, but it’s like explained by awareness and decreased criteria to qualify as being on the spectrum - not by an increase in actual autism.
What’s wrong with the x-Axis?
if you look at it for 1s it looks scary (if you’re afraid of autism ig). if you look at it for 2s it doesn’t make any fucking sense like, at all
Main problem is that its not really an axis at all.
Maybe what’s important is the axis we made along the way
I think it’s birth cohorts
