They unpack historical data, presentism, and labels; reframe “maladaptive” patterns as survival adaptations (and sometimes superpowers); and outline a Mind Change path focused on nervous-system safety, subconscious rewiring, and family-wide healing—keeping uniqueness while relieving unnecessary suffering. What we covered in this episode: 📈 Autism rates skyrocketed from 1 in 5,000 kids to 1 in 30 in two generations 🧬 Why genes alone can’t explain the surge—environment & culture play a bigger role 🏫 How schooling, screens, toxins & stress reshape developing brains 💡 Autism as adaptation & survival strategy , not defect 🧠 Trauma’s imprint—how it rewires biology and passes through generations 👩‍👩‍👧 Parental stress and healing: why when parents shift, kids shift too 🔖 Labels can help—but they can also limit growth 🌍 The autism explosion as a mirror of our wider cultural crisis 👉 Full resources, courses & community: mindchange.com 👍 Like what you hear?
