Warum steigt die Zahl der Autisten? I Quarks Studio Q

The number of autism diagnoses has been rising rapidly for decades. Is this due to new triggers, or are we simply recognizing autism better? Or could it be that some people think they're "a little bit autistic" because autism is often associated with special abilities in TV series? That it's just a passing fad. What exactly is autism? How can it be recognized, and can autism tests like the BERT test be helpful? We explain why the previous classification into early childhood autism, Asperger syndrome, and atypical autism is no longer up to date, and what the new definition of autism spectrum disorder has to do with the increasing number of cases. You'll also learn about the role played by factors such as masking and gender differences. Diagnosis is often complex and lengthy, and the number of undiagnosed autism diagnoses is probably much higher than we think. // Chapter 0:00 The Autism Boom in Numbers 2:55 Why it's now called Autism Spectrum Disorder 4:53 Have Risk Factors Increased? 6:00 The long road to diagnosis 9:54 How masking complicates diagnosis // Our team: Authors: Chantal Beil, Mathias Tertilt Production: Katrin Krieft Camera: Carolin Grimm Editing: Lukas Anhalt Graphics: Klaudia Fischer Editor: Andrea Wille // Click here for the source document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x... // Here you can find online self-tests, which cannot replace a diagnosis by a professional: BERT - Berlin Emotion Recognition Test https://www.uni-bielefeld.de/fakultae...
