The prevalence of youth diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder has increased dramatically over the past 30 years. Give two hypotheses for this increased prevalence.
What will be an ideal response?
There could be a real increase in the disorder, perhaps due to some environmental toxins, food additives, or other teratogens, and changes in lifestyle (nutrition, different family composition, etc.). Alternatively, there could simply be an increase in diagnosis, without an increase in underlying rates of disorder. That could be because of an increase in awareness about the condition, and a greater willingness of clinicians to assign an ASD diagnosis to gain access to services, even when not all the criteria are fully met.
