[quote=Anonymous]Read the DSM criteria - it requires pretty significant funcational impairments across settings. If someone in your family has ASD, you know it and it doesn't take long before anyone who interacts with them can tell something is different about them too. TikTok autism (that so many seem to have now) is a whole different ballpark and isn't a clinical diagnosis. Kids and adults have weaknesses, imperfections, vulnerabilities, unique characteristics, etc. That is part of being human. Those should not be psychopathologized. A diagnosis means you have substantial clinical symptoms that cause functional impairment across settings and that you require support / intervention to function. [/quote]
