    Re-defining Diagnostic Criteria for Autism?

    I'm hearing rumors that the people in charge are seeking to actually re-define the diagnostic criteria for Autism in the DSM-5. For awhile now, I've heard people saying that Autism is being "over-diagnosed" and that level-1 Autistic people aren't really Autistic. I've considered this to be the...

    How to diagnose Autism when the internet and other resources aren’t available?

    I want to present a scenario to you, imagine something apocalyptic happens, a nuclear war breaks out, a super-volcano or two go off, or cats & dogs start living together. Your community is reduced to a primitive survivalist state and it turns out that it’ll be quite some time before...

    Patience til the End

    Hi I hope many of you will gain insight into people on the spectrum although each and every person is different and functions at a different level.. One thing I never managed to work out was where behaviour due to being on the spectrum stopped and the personality/character took over. I had...

    Is Tumblr just sensitive or did I say something wrong?

    One time I posted on Tumblr about my little brother who is on the lower end of the spectrum with autism. I said that he had low functioning autism and another person with autism messaged me and said that wasn't nice or appropriate to say. But the doctors and therapists tell my mom all the time...
