For some reason, that doesn't look like a GPT-generated graph, which means... sadly... that someone had to make that thing.... and somebody had to approve it.

Can somebody smarter than me tell me what this is trying to say? There’s a bar for surveillance year and birth year. But, for instance, 2012 is on the graph twice with different values. What does it mean?

Edit:

I think I got it. The graph is of “Autism rates in 8 year olds over time”. And the X axis should just be year (in 2 year increments).

prevalence of cancer has increased ∞% since 0 BC

The axis makes sense with the label, they just didn't label every data point.

It looks nepotism put a failson in charge of this graph.

Guarantee you the people afraid of autism has no idea what it even is, other than "bad"

There is an 𝑥 axis and it's not too hard to comprehend, although I'd prefer the dividing character to be newline rather than "|", or only show the surveillance year.

Also, the "trendline" is sus, an actual trendline cannot always be above data.

What's wrong with the x-Axis?

When people say autism they think of the nonverbal kind not the model train kind.

Also remember that we only had diagnostic tools for adult autism beginning in the 1980s.

The rise of autism diagnosis does not necessarily equal a rise in autism.

maybe that's why they were elected lol

/s

Can anyone decipher the graph for me?

....................... did they adjust the data points to go from lowest to highest

......so the chart go up?

.....

*I wrote down the data on a napkin and it makes more sense. These fuckers made a Bad Graph.

Military spending also increased from 2000-2022, ergo military spending causes autism.

That's like saying we have more cancer now than in the past.

Sure, that might be true in certain scenarios (we're very good at creating new ways to give ourselves cancer).

The truth is that we're living longer, increasing the risk and likelihood of cancer, and we've gotten a LOT better at finding and diagnosing cancer and specific types.

Dude...

I think the x axis is "year of measurement | year of birth" since they are 8 years apart. Very unconventional and it would need an explanation but it's not bad to have both pieces of information handy in this context

Yeah Autism rates are going up in all groups because people are getting diagnoses. This is partly about better awareness but also partly about money - there is an incentive to expand the diagnosis, diagnose more people and treat more people, which somewhat muddies the water. Autistic Spectrum Disorder first appeared in the American DSM in 2012, unifying 5 existing conditions into one, and then it moved into the international ICD in 2018 (going live in 2022). It is no wonder awareness has gone up, and infrastructure for diagnosis has rolled out.

We're not seeing an increase in Autism, we're seeing an increase in the diagnosis of autism. This graph just shows how stupid and dumbed down the CDC and the White House is under this cretinous president.

Absolute nonsense graph. Buckle up, this shit is going to get way worse.
