[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, autistic people experience the world differently than NT people but similarly to eachother. Makes sense as a single disorder to me. Just because autism is more disabling to some people than to others doesn't mean it's a different "kind" of autism. It's not like we say that people with mild ADHD and severe ADHD (or anxiety, or whatever) should have totally different disgnoses-- one's daily life may be a lot more affected than the other, but their brains have a lot in common.[/quote] Right but what were saying is that they don’t bc the category has been too broadly defined [/quote] What makes you think they don't have a lot in common? Just because one gets overstimulated by lights or noise and has an instant massive meltdown while the other is able to manage it and get themselves out of there calmly doesn't change the fact that they're both overstimulated by stuff NT people aren't, just as one example.[/quote]
