[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Autism is a "spectrum" disorder folks. Not every individual who is on the spectrum will be incapable of holding a job. That is not a criteria for a diagnosis.[/quote] No, but having it be pervasive and severe most certainly is. And having it negatively impact daily life. Too many people think "spectrum" means mild, or just a little. Those are subthreshold autistic tendencies, not full blown ASD. The spectrum refers to differently affected areas. There are about 100 autism cohorts. The AVERAGE American adult has up to 20 of those. Someone with actual autistic disorder will have about 80 of them. [/quote]
