Interesting, but I don’t know if I would attribute it to long COVID, necessarily. I've been teaching at a community college for about the past decade. In my classes, the number of disability accommodations for psychological conditions such as ADHD and ASD seem to really be accelerating in recent years. My guess is that this is a result of higher rates of diagnosis for relatively minor cases. This is partly because of greater awareness, and the dates in this chart also coincide with the popularity of TikTok for Gen Z, which seems to fuel a lot of self-diagnoses. In my experience, I only know one person with long COVID, but I know several adults who have been diagnosed with one of these conditions in the past few years.

Hi! These data are really interesting. I would like to ask permission to show screenshots of these graphs at an upcoming presentation at SXSW (South by Southwest). Not for publication or recording, but just to show on-screen during our panel presentation. We are talking about marketing and advertising, but I want to make the point that it is harder than ever to connect with people. Please let me know? I have reached out to the CPS as well, but I wanted to ask you also for permission to use your visualization. Thank you!!!
