re: #95 ralphieboy

I am not even beginning to imply that autism is a “fashionable” disease (as some have called it) or to imply that a lot of these diagnoses are bullshit.

I just want to point ot that it is hard to come up with “hard” figures for something that is not easily and objectively defined: no antibodies, no pathology, only behavioral indicators, which can be misread.

Even though it’s been slowly gaining attention since the 60’s. We’re way early in understanding it. Autism might not even be one condition.
