Autism is still wildly misunderstood. It’s a big label on a very very big bag of diverse symptoms.

I don’t know how any reasonable scientist could gatekeep something so amorphous and loosely defined.

You can take a child to 4 different doctors and they will all diagnose “autism” differently.

It stands to reason no one knows the truth. We are all just making this up as we go along.
