Why should people be concerned about autism?
People shouldn't be concerned about Autism. There's a lot of people using propaganda against Autistic people to increase their own profits or agenda: for example Autism Speaks telling people that there is an 'epidemic' to scare people about Autism so that people will donate to them to 'cure' Autism. The fact is that Autism diagnosis is increasing but that doesn't mean that Autism is on the rise, in fact there's no evidence to support the idea that it is on the rise. Autism is also not a terrible thing, what is terrible is lack of support, treatment, and acceptance of Autistic people which not only harms them but also harms families who are made to believe they must spend a fortune on unnecessary and harmful treatments to try to change their Autistic child. Autism isn't the problem, attitudes towards Autism are the real concern.
