Can you give a definition of what autism means then? Because I struggle with the same thing, I don't know what autism is anymore.
It's my impression that people now use the term autism is for pretty much any sort of neurodiversity (and even for traits within neuronormal, e.g. likes math).
For what it's worth Wikipedia says, ASD is:
> a neurodevelopmental disorder by differences or difficulties in social communication and interaction, a need or strong preference for predictability and routine, sensory processing differences, focused interests, and repetitive behaviors.
Would you say this is stereotyping ASD?
I'm not trying to be combative but genuinely want to understand.
