[quote=Anonymous]The article makes no sense to me. There is clear diagnostic criteria and I don't understand how some people in the story with diagnoses like the cheerleader, for example, could be found to meet those criteria. While lots of people have social communication issues it has to impact daily life function to be autism. They're also saying girls don't necessarily have narrow interests or repetitive behaviors, which are, again, what they use to diagnose this in the first place. If they are not using the DSM criteria to diagnose how are they diagnosing?![/quote]
