If the Libtard attempt at a meme-style joke of telescopes "causing" asteroids. The thought behind that is the measurement method becoming more accurate over the decades being able to detect more occurrences than before. Meaning there were always lots of asteroids passing by earth, we just couldn't see them.
That presented as an analogy of the skyrocketing occurrence of autism doesn't match. In 1990, you never met an autistic child (other than the movie "Rain man"), while in 2026 now everyone knows at least half a dozen autistic children. Sheer human observation, which has remained static, detects more autistic children, not the "definition" by the American Psychiatric Association.
