I don’t think it’s radical to suggest that modern technology, society, diet, and culture are making people sick, both mentally and physically.

We know that people in history have had conditions like Autism. However even in the present day there are stark differences in prevalence in different regions of the world with modern healthcare systems (Japan, for example).

Diagnosis of anything mental is inherently cultural and will be seen through subjective lenses. I would be very surprised if autism rates were truly different across the world. If so, then that would provide a good basis to compare populations to get at the root.

Yes, I'm sure in some cultures they just tried to beat it out of you... :)
