[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought that ASD was something you don't grow out of. [/quote] As the mom of a young adult who was diagnosed with ASD as a preschooler, I think the condition changes over time. There are periods when symptoms improve and periods when they worsen (due to puberty or stressful transitions like changing schools). I think there are some people who mostly outgrow it, but I don’t think it entirely disappears - kind of like ADHD. I don’t think ASD is necessarily a disability but a different way of viewing and engaging with the world. [/quote] Idk what argument we’re having. Are you talking. About the specifics of certain people? We are saying asd should be more succinctly categorized. No one is arguing about complete strangers on the internet and their diagnoses [/quote]
