I’ve theorized in my book _Fat Gas_ that vasopressin levels are tied to elevated indoor CO2 levels. Would not be at all surprised if these novel social conditions stem from not going outside enough and from poorly ventilated buildings (especially gyms and conference rooms) and transport (planes trains and automobiles each routinely exceed 1000 ppm from everybody’s lungs).

How would this be true for planes? They're constantly being fed fresh air from the engines during flight.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by "novel social conditions"?
ASD diagnoses have skyrocketed in the past few decades (years?) with no clear cause. I'm just old enough to remember a childhood without cell phones - we didn't have a computer in my house until middle school but we were lower income than most of my friends - and people are definitely inside more and outside less than they were when I was 8 or 9 years old. It seems like a plausible theory.
Homosexuality was considered a disorder in the DSM until 1974. Self-reported rates of homosexuality have skyrocketed since then. Most likely explanation is that the true base rate has not changed, just society's measurement of it.
Children with ASD in prior generations were labeled as delinquent, troublemakers, retarded, or were abandoned by their parents and communities.
That’s a fascinating introduction - they are concerned that dual (!) name of the molecule might be hiding all of its functions! It looks like naming thing is not just a problem for programmers.
When I was diagnosed with a neurological condition that was having mostly physical symptoms, the first-line defense was antidepressants. So-named because they were developed to relieve depression, but really what they do is inhibit absorption of serotonin and/or norepinephrine leaving more free in the body to act on myriad different bodily functions. In my case, it actually caused serious digestion issues. It really…

What do you change about your lifestyle with that test result? I have a child with ASD, and also drinks mad amounts of water. But I didn't see any treatment plan if this deficiency is confirmed.
Find a clinical trial, perhaps? There seems to be a bit of study in this direction: https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2019/05/hormone-reduc...

I mean, it's cars. Fossil fuel combustion in general, but car exhaust in particular.
Cars don't lead to increased indoor CO2 levels.

Essentially if this theory is accurate it kind of shares similar patterns to diabetes insipidus which is essentially vasopressin dysfunction. So you can Google that and see how that is treated and tested for.
