Autism is a very broad term that is no longer descriptive enough of the underlying condition.

Some people are really struggling while others are thriving.

It can involve thousands of genes and other factors.

Unless they invent better descriptions for the wide variety of conditions discussions are extremely generalized at best.

I recall sometime last year they were looking at being able to categorize 3 broad subcategories of autism that likely have separate causes and different levels of disability and symptoms. Depending on how true that is, it's possible we can isolate the axies of traits that are debilitating.
