I’m also unfamiliar with any data to suggest the increase in rates is anything but a change in diagnostic criteria. And it’s my field, so I’d OP has data to share, I’d be very appreciative of a link.

Right. These are the precise prevalence numbers that have been addressed in multiple studies showing that the change is attributable to increases in public awareness / detection efforts, and broadened diagnostic criteria.

Thank you for digging up a link.

This link talks about prevalence rates. I don't see anything talking about an increase in autism rates that is not just explained by increase in diagnoses as the OP claimed
