Yes, I have no doubt about that. Zero doubt. That the definition of autism has likely been broadened in the last several decades because there are drugs, therapies and other things
to sell those "afflicted". I wish more people understood this.
It happens in many areas -- the expanded diagnosis of ADD/ADHD. Did you know, in many instances, the US Govt
pays parents a monthly check if they put their kids on drugs for those conditions and others? It's been going on a long time and is well-known in the schools. The pop culture terms for them is: crazy checks ....and the kids ask each other if they're getting them. Astonishing.
The explosion of CPAP machine pushing is another annuity racket. Most people could likely address their sleep issues in other, more natural, and less costly ways.
