[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re “high functioning”, do you really have autism? When I was growing up, autism meant non-communicative, in-your-own-world kind of behavior. Is the “spectrum “ too broad now because people want a label for their kids just because they’re a little weird?[/quote] You should look up why all these things are now considered autism. When everyone in the medical field were debating the outlines for DSM 5 they had to push things like Aspergers into "the spectrum" because all of these little things were not going to be covered by insurance, they do have to cover autism though. They had good intentions but it really spun out of control.[/quote]
