Not an answer to your question, but in the 80s/early 90s my grandmother used to tape movies off the tv, I believe she actually copied VCR to VCR so she could make a copy without commercials. She’d then cut out the description from the TV Guide, and scotch tape it to the top of the video cassette tape.
The “cause” is quite simple: more visibility, knowledge regarding, and acceptance of neurodiversity.
We don’t (usually) just beat kids until they learn to mask now.
Yes we are testing more now that we better understand the conditions. It used to be “understood” that it was mostly boys who had ADHD. Now we understand that girls are/were taught to act in certain ways, forcing them to learn to mask more effectively.
My spouse and I were both diagnosed with ADHD in our late 30s despite having visible symptoms as children.
When I told my parents I was diagnosed with ADHD, their response was “well you turned out fine, didn’t you?”
My employer acknowledges neurodiversity month with presentations by employees who are neurodiverse to help share their perspectives with the “normies.”
My spouse and I are able to look at our children’s behaviors and see the actions through the lense of their being ADHDers. We are able to look back actions and responses of our parents while we were growing up and see their undiagnosed ADHD.
In short, things like ADHD and Autism have been around a lot, in numbers higher than we used to diagnose, and were just getting better at spotting them.

Yeah. My grandfather (former electrician and electrical inspector) had a specific outlet he’d plug a gas generator in to back feed power into the house. This was in the 80s and 90s.
He also pointed out that he turned the main off so it did not back feed into the grid and power lines that a lineman is expecting to not be live.
That’d be like outlawing hammers because someone figured out they make a great murder weapon.
Just because you can use a tool for crime, doesn’t mean that tool was designed/intended for crime.
Not exactly. This would be more akin to a company that will 3D printer metal parts and assemble them for you. You use this service and have them create and assemble a gun for you. Then you use that weapon in a violent crime. Should the company have known better that you were having them create an illegal weapon on your behalf?
Oh we know what is going on already. The court has been stacked in a way that usually favors corporate and authoritarian interests, with justices frequently receiving gifts that aren’t always disclosed.
Yes all those people draining billions every year giving nothing any keeping the money.
You’re taking about corporate welfare too, right?
What does that make X/Twitter, Crouch-Rot and Clankers?
