[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry but being autistic myself I find the "outgrowing autism" trend very very concerning. If you at some point in your life are not autistic anymore then you weren't autistic in the first place. Autism is not an illness that can be cured. It's a disability. It's a neurological variant that doesn't ever go away. Anyone who loses their autism diagnosis was misdiagnosed. Which is VERY possible especially seeing how young diagnosis is made these days and how easily you can get one even if you only want services. Truly autistic people are not done any service with this lax treatment of autism diagnoses. Please keep that in mind when you make your arguments, seek your diagnosis, talk to people etc.[/quote]
