I do like a lot of what you’re saying, but this over here made me raise an eyebrow:
In the end, whether someone is autistic or not (as currently defined by autism as a diagnosis) is subject to an arbitrary line where the judge says “this is/isn’t autistic enough”
So you’re saying that “whether someone is autistic or not is arbitrary, there is no finite criteria,” and “everybody’s a little autistic, some people are just more”?
So you’re saying that “whether someone is autistic or not is arbitrary, there is no finite criteria,” and “everybody’s a little autistic, some people are just more”?
Not really, I’m fine with putting a line somewhere, I’m just acknowledging that such a line isn’t going to be objective, and some people would put it a little further or a little earlier.
