[quote=Anonymous]I am seeing the Facebook memes about girls with autism, and I ticked all the boxes when I was younger. But I am not autistic. It's ludicrous to say I am. If you are a functional adult, you aren’t either. The DSM specifically says that the condition must impact daily living. The categories are a mess and written in a way that people are DXed with ASD when they actually have a genetic condition like Downs or Cornelia de Lange syndrome. Maybe these categories will prove fruitful down the road but there is still a lot of work to do. [/quote]
