See now, the key point your missing is that the vast majority of online ausists have no actual diagnosis. Wiki'ing an article about the spectrum does not place you on it.

[(Anonymous)]

It's not even online, just in general. I think the critera for diagnosis is too broad. If autism were a big deal when I was growing up, I would've been diagnosed, probably. But I turned out fairly typical aside from some social phobia. It bothers me that what once was "normal kid" is increasingly "troubling symptoms"

[(Anonymous)]

This. It's yet another excuse for parents who never should've been parents to make doctors raise their kids.

Oh, man. When I was complaining upthread that someone was going to pull this classic, I was kind of hoping that I was being overly paranoid. I guess not! Someone will ALWAYS PULL THIS SHIT.

[(Anonymous)]

*sigh* Mommy and Daddy didn't hug you enough as a child, did they?

[manifold]

Oh, troll. You have GOT to do better than that if you're going to play the "autism is REALLY bad parents" game.

I mean, seriously, the Frigid Mother Hypothesis died in the 50s.

[(Anonymous)]

Whatever lets you sleep at night.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, being unable to string more than two words together or understand change is all about parenting; nothing to do with cognition.

Dickhead.

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you! You sound like a shitty parent.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, SHUT UP. Wishing you go on to have an autistic child so, so hard right now.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't want children at all, "autistic" or otherwise. Sorry to disappoint, I guess.

[(Anonymous)]

You're probably thinking of Aspergers then, and not full-out autism. People with autism has difficulty learning to speak, does not keep eye contact and are not aware of other social cues, often focus on performing repeated actions - including actions that are harmful to them, and have a very limited field of focus. There is no way someone with autism would have been thought was a "normal kid."

[manifold]

this. plus, the diagnosis is a fuckton more strict than a lot of people seem to think it is—there is no "walk into doctor's office, talk a bit, walk out with a diagnosis" bullshit. you get tested out the fucking ass. you have to demonstrate the sensory elements of autism, observed repeatedly. and then you have to repeat the testing and analysis every couple of years, because no one just takes the first tests and diagnosis for granted. you have to repeat it all for elementary school if you're going to get your IEP, and oh, repeat it again for junior high—oh, hey, it's high school, TIME TO REPEAT THOSE TESTS AGAIN—OH BOY MAN you're high-functioning enough to maybe go to vocational school or a community college! GUESS WHAT YOU HAVE TO REPEAT AGAIN JUST TO BE SURE YOU'RE REALLY AUTISTIC

oh, and if you're not high-functioning enough to go on to "higher learning"? still got to repeat the tests for SSI. you can be a total mute who can't handle loud noises, and the government will not fucking acknowledge it without repeating that shit all over again.

this is why I get so pissed off when people are all "omg it's so easy to get diagnosed with autism!" NO. IT IS NOT. twenty fucking years and you'll still have people acting like a magical cure for autism can happen at random! or, you know, like every single autistic person is faking it for shits and giggles, especially if you can talk or type on a keyboard. but we'll catch you, you fakers! even if you've tested as genuinely autistic since before you can remember, we'll catch you this time with this round of tests!

it is fucking ridiculous.
