“Autism is a spectrum” doesn’t mean what you think (2019)
Another shitty development is how "mild" autism has become a trendy status symbol. Psychiatrists are now inundated with so many diagnosis requests from neurotypicals that actually autistic people such as my wife and I cannot get the official diagnoses we need for government programs, NGO memberships, school and workplace accommodations, etc. There are now literally years-long waits to even get an appointment! Autistic people now have to add the preface "actually autistic" to hopefully get some understanding.
