The original diagnosis criteria started out with six observed traits.
one fell inside the scope of the diagnosis of you met three of six
subjective traits by observation.

Slowly the number of traits increased... and as the number of traits
increased so did the number of people which fell into the subjective
diagnosis.

I don't want to be baffled by bull**** thanks.

But you do... The websites you customarily post are full of bull****,
and I've yet to see any evidence you're actually able to understand
what's being said in them.

The point is autism has risen to epidemic levels and there is no
explanation for it.

When the criteria for diagnosis is increased, the incidence rate rises
as the cases previously not diagnosed as autism are now included. What's
so damn difficult to understand about that?
