...is strongly correlated with RFK Jr's age. Let's do a thought experiment. While the mid-twentieth century data are sketchy because autism was not even a legit diagnosis in 1960, Wikipedia estimates that per capita US autism rates were likely about 0.5 per 1,000 births in the 1960s. Let's be conservative and say 0.5/1000 is an accurate historical estimate of autism incidence prior to the 1960s.
RFK Jr was born in 1954. We presume he was not very effective at driving up autism rates during early childhood, but by the 1980s, when RFK Jr was a young man, U.S. autism diagnoses doubled to roughly 1 in 1,000 births. Coincidence or causation? Do your own research! Consider that as RFK Jr has aged, autism rates have increased dramatically, in lockstep with his misspent lifespan. By 1995 approximately 1 in 500 children were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, ten years later that number had increased to 1 in 150 births, and by 2015 to 1 autism diagnosis per every 58 births. In 2022, 1 in 31 children were autistic.
How could this be any clearer?! For every year that data exists, autism rates have been higher on each of RFK Jr's birthdays than they were on his previous birthday! Hello! Is this thing on?! RFK Jr's demented existence correlates precisely with the growth of autism. Hardly anyone was autistic prior to RFK Jr's appearance. During his lifetime autism rates have skyrocketed. QED!
That was fun!
