But an untreated bipolar condition led to a psychotic break and sent him spiraling into a street alcoholic, enjoying the nightlife in New Orleans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUp and Down the Ivory Tower discusses the author's regression to a nervous breakdown and subsequently taking prescribed antipsychotics, which may have affected his genetic makeup and led to his son, Keith, being diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. When the child was diagnosed with ASD in 1995, the statistic was 1 in 10,000 children being diagnosed with ASD or .1% of births. The CDC is currently indicating that 1 in 44 births or 2.27% of children in 2022 are being born with ASD, a twenty-two-times increase in approximately twenty-six years. Larry Rodenstein states, \"I've written this book to urge doctors to stop prescribing these antipsychotics. They are moderately affecting our gene pool. I recommend that the medical and health services community explore alternative holistic treatments.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLarry Rodenstein works at Riverside Community Health.
