 autism or autistic "traits"
"I said all those things are over diagnosed, and they are."
I don't mean to offend but this struck a nerve with me. Because of over diagnosing, autism has become this HUGE spectrum disorder. I am a Mom to a son with "classic" autism. There are specific criteria to get the diagnosis. Autism is autism. However, there are genetic conditions that may cause "autistic traits" to appear. Therefore, we now have pdd, pdd-nos, aspergers etc and the list goes on. |
