Eh, the diagnosis of Autism spectrum disorder is so broad now that you'll find relatively normal, functional people whom you wouldn't know had it unless you'd been told. This is one of the many reasons that - at least in my country - the government is reworking the definition of the disorder.

They probably got the diagnoses as children and had more trouble at the time, but thanks intervention and counseling they've managed to improve their social skills enough to blend in.

They can still be called autistic because, while they may blend in, it's much harder for them to do so. Also, the autistic traits will probably become a lot more noticeable once you actually get to know them.

Having a disorder doesn't necessarily mean 100% dysfunctional in all areas of life. There are differing degrees of everything, and they require different degrees of compensation to make up for it.

Aspergers is the worst diagnosis for that, because the diagnosis criteria is so broad as to be functionally useless in any real treatment or behaviour management program.

It's not really a real diagnosis anymore, it's an "eh, they are wacked, but nothing specific" diagnosis. Once upon a time that attitude was used for bipolar, and borderline personality disorder too. Took a long time to get those sorted into real diagnosis too because lazy clinicians would just throw the easy diagnosis at the complainer rather than investigate.

Demanding patients (or with aspergers, patients parents) wanting an easy diagnosis so they can slap a "special" label on their behaviours, and lazy clinicians who just want the demanding patients out their hair, is a bad combination. There may be a few genuine cases in there, but they should be on the main autistic criteria, not aspergers if they are to be helped or managed. The aspergers label is meaningless.

Bwahahaha this comment is so hilariously true. My sister was diagnosed as bipolar for years until the doctors changed their minds and decided she was schizophrenic. Idk what they're calling her now. My brother was diagnosed as borderline personality disorder, but tbh I just think he's a simply fucked up addict so why do we need labels? He's probably gonna get a new diagnoses in a few years. Whatever gets him his disability cheque, I guess.

They tried to tag me with autism as a kid. Thank god my parents didn't listen to them. I'm just a bit quirky, not on the spectrum. Now as an adult I'm a sales person -- I have no problem interacting with people (and getting them to buy what I want them to buy. Heh heh.).

Anyway, teal deer, but I agree. The definition as it stands is too broad.
