A study from Sweden reveals that the significant rise in clinical diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) over recent decades is not reflected in an increase in reported symptoms among the population. While symptoms of ADHD remained stable in boys, there was a small increase noted in girls, suggesting a nuanced trend in symptomatology rather than a general increase in underlying traits.
