Doctors tell tbb to ignore the large increase in Health Data...
It's all down to More Health Testing for more illness at earlier ages = more Hospital funding.
eg : Street Kidz have 30% disability > Remote Indigenous also ramps > 50% disability...
Mining / Farming / Coal / Fishing / Ship Ports even IVF are birthing prem Trans...Chix are not stupid!
That's why real estate is premium in fast depleting clean drinking water fresh air Seachange villages!

"Seven in 10 people who joined the National Disability Insurance Scheme in the past year had a primary diagnosis of autism, and most were children, in a fresh sign of the challenges facing Health and Disability Minister Mark Butler as he seeks to secure the future of the $46 billion scheme.

An analysis of government data by this masthead reveals that 56,000 of the 78,600 participants who signed up to the NDIS between June 2024 and June 2025 had autism as their main diagnosis.
