Autism should not be treated as a single condition | ||

No one is disagreeing with that. People are trying to point out that the "spectrum" thing is the medical field doing precisely what you're asking for. | ||

Please point me to anywhere that it is treated as a single thing that isn't the people using Autism to push an anti-science agenda. It is an Umbrella term that is well understood to be a "spectrum" and well understood to not be the same for 2 different people. My question though, what is the point of separating it. What do we actually gain from doing so? I guarantee you these attacks will still exist. I don't have a degree in this but I have to imagine there was a good reason that Aspergers is no longer its own diagnosis. | ||
