But over the last couple of decades or so, it's been expanded into a 'autism spectrum disorder'. Today anyone who is shy, solitary and a bit withdrawn can be diagnosed as mildly autistic. I'm hugely skeptical about that and don't think that burdening these people with the stigma of mental illness does anyone any good.
Is autism really a disability? |
