TW for personal rant. I just need this off my chest and this place feels safe enough briefly use as a personal diary lol.
Yknow, I think it needs noting that just because you have an opinion it doesn’t make you a fuckin higher status human being.
Like congrats, you have opinions. We all do. The world doesn’t revolve around you and what you think. You’re not a fuckin scholar for siting one website and claiming you’re absolutely correct because you said so. ‘Cant be me; I’m the best. I always have been cause my thoughts have always been superior to anyone else’s without any need for physical proof or written evidence of my claims.’
Pls get over your own enormous ego and remove your head from your ass, cause I’m sorry but if the shoe fits, look inward and reflect. Do us all that favor and get off your self proclaimed throne.

Okay so. I reblogged a post a couple weeks ago about how the diagnostic criteria for Autism for the next DSM is going to be more restrictive, making it more difficult to get an autism diagnosis. Which I was just as upset as the OP about at the time. But since then I've gained additional information and I thought I'd share with the class.
The symptoms and symptom clusters that currently make up an Autism diagnosis is likely actually several separate disorders that were being grouped as Autism because we didn't know enough about the separate disorders. Since the last edition of the DSM there's been a bunch of extra research and genetic testing and analysis of symptom clusters. So we know enough now to make the more specific disorder specifications now.
So the diagnostic criteria of Autism is shrinking. That doesn't mean everyone who previously had an Autism diagnosis but no longer qualifies are going to be floating without labels that help get necessary accommodations. It just means you're going to fall into new categories instead. Like when Aspbergers stopped being a diagnosis and it got tied to Autism Spectrum Disorder (but in the opposite direction).
This doesn't mean you're not allowed to be upset! There's a lot of community to be found with fellow autistic people, and there have been a lot of recent strides in the acceptance and understanding of Autism as a disorder (with the general public). That loss of community is going to feel huge, and it's going to be an uphill battle to spread awareness of the new labels for the current symptom clusters.
But it's not the end of the world and it's going to result in more accurate and precise diagnosies.
