Question - Can you think of any other theories of health or disease that have changed during your lifetime

Autism comes to mind.

That one did cross my mind. There's plenty of correlates, but I don't think there's a definitive theory, aside from genetic and environmental. It would offer a lot of material. And, as of yet, no one in my discussion bracket has done it.

The idea of the spectrum, social attitudes towards those with the diagnosis, Asperger's Syndrome - there's a lot there. And don't forget the anti-vaccine movement.
