Massive increase of children with autism

I've noticed since the lock down there is a massive increase in children being assessed for autism and associated conditions. I mean massive.

On the school run parents are often discussing it it's become so routine. I'm really interested in why. Why are so many children being diagnosed with this condition?

Hi all. We've removed a few posts already from this thread and are dropping in with a reminder that disablism breaks our guidelines. Posts suggesting parents 'chase' a diagnosis for benefits or to seek attention are firmly not in the spirit of Mumsnet. Many MNers will tell you from their own experience just how challenging it is to get just a diagnosis never mind adequate support for their child. We'd urge posters to consider their comments in that light. Thank you.
