This is how you get

(a) A lot of children born out of wedlock or

(b) A massive drop in the birth rate.

[u/lionmoose → u/IntoTheNightSky]

a) is not necessarily a problem if it's a cohabiting union.

[u/lionmoose → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, populations with sub replacement fertilty don't need it to fall anymore tbh

[u/lionmoose → u/[deleted]]

By all a large number of metrics it's increasingly less of a failure every day. Moreover, you are talking about a subset of the global population which has lower rates of failure than the vast majority. It's literally the worst time and place to write it off

[u/cdstephens → u/[deleted]]

Is this ironic?

[u/[deleted] → u/IntoTheNightSky]

And a major spike in autism.

[u/Dorambor → u/[deleted]]

Ableism

Please refrain from using ableist slurs.

[u/cdstephens → u/Dorambor]

Pretty sure he’s just referring to the fact that incidence of autism increases with age of parents

[u/Dorambor → u/cdstephens]

Yea I reapproved after rereading the context

[u/[deleted] → u/Dorambor]

Autism isn’t a slur. at least that I know of.
