I think that the ship of culture lists right and left in a sort of autocorrect mode. I understand the concern about Autism not being taken seriously, but I have found that some of the people I know who are on the spectrum have been helped by this new way of framing it. One of my friends always says, "No big deal. It's just the tism (Autism)." I suppose the reason why these debates persist is because different people have different experiences with these issues.
Thanks for adding the personal example. If someone on the spectrum feels less stigmatized, that’s a plus for sure. Hopefully as the ship lists back and forth, we can still lessen the stigma while resuming the research for this condition.

That would be good. The research shouldn't stop.
The ignoring of research that does not support what we believe is selective science. Ideology over any contradictory thought or truth.
