The CDC reports a four fold uptick in genetic disease diagnosis over the last couple of decades. Farmers aren't fallowing the land which leads to mineral imbalances in the soil including magnesium deficiency and magnesium deficiency in one or both parents leads to a genetic lack of expression of SUV39H2 on the tenth chromosome which is associated with spectrum disorders which is basically the brains inability to switch off normally. Not sure how gas reserves came into it. While I was visiting the former USSR every man I discussed it with spoke fondly of what was, perhaps the median and the average are poles apart.
I would happily look at any studies on the genetic disorders you can link, including the claim regarding magnesium deficiency. I strongly suspect it is a case of increased diagnosis not occurance, but I am happy to be shown differently.
I had included accounting for increased diagnosis based on incentives to do so in my original comment but then my phone shutdown before I pressed enter and I just wasn't keen to rewrite the whole comment.
Here's the very first article that came up on Google.
There's a chart showing increased prevalence down the page. Of course this is just one condition caused by the ultra-processed wildly imbalanced nutritional mess that's offered up to the chromosomes.

Pretty obvious that increasing autism prevelance is caused be the reduction in people windsurfing.

Actually to correct your statement, the charts show reported prevelance. A direct quote from the link you provided:
"The reported prevalence of ASD has been higher in recent years, and this trend is consistent across data sources. It is unclear how much this is due to changes to the clinical definition of ASD (which may include more people than previous definitions) and better efforts to diagnose ASD (which would identify people with ASD who were not previously identified)."
There is no doubt identification and diagnosis is up. But it is not clear if it is just increased testing or increased occurance. Many people diagnosed with ASD these days were simply part of the human spectrum when I was growing up. My family takes great delight in picking which members would have been diagnosed with ASD back in the day. So sorry I cannot see any compelling evidence there are increasing rates of occurance of genertic disorders from your links.
