Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
I'd go ahead and say the cause is likely related to BPA/BPS compounds in plastics. And the exposure of pregnant women to those compounds.
But ya know, that's just me.
Edit: lol at downvotes, this is newish research. A lot of new information has landed literally in the last week. I sincerely advise keeping an eye on it as research ramps up.
I've posted a couple of papers below, one old, one new. As well as a link to an article that does a good job of summarising where our understanding is currently at.
So how did you come to that conclusion on your own?
Through the wonder of ~~Sci~~ pulling random bullshit out of their ass.
One of the OG studies that raised the alarm.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6946218/
Recent study into specific harms.

As more research is done, it's going to end up being the lead exposure of our generation. (If I was to make a judgement call now)
Weird downvotes, I guess we love.3M and chemical coorporations now lol?
Thank you for the links, so it is not "just you". While it is still unclear what causes it, that seems to be one potential cause.
Which of these talk about anxiety?
Or, ya know, child abuse.
How do you explain vastly decreased rates of child abuse vs vastly increased rates of various disorders? This isn't my area of expertise but it is my wife's.
It's kind of an a known at this point that there is something environmental affecting us. Given the number of recent studies, (check my post below) and the ramping interest in BPA/BPS and ~100 similar compounds, I advise watching this space.
Sorry, I thought your reply was hyperbole.
It's essentially the lead argument so not as out of this world as the downvotes suggest.
Why do people downvote this post? What he says it's logical and he provides sources.
It's a very dystopian realisation.
Something was done without the consent of your parents or yourself that has a lasting impact on the rest of your life.
I just hope we hold those responsible to account. This was researched in the 90's and the scientista that worked on it were muzzled.
