I feel like there isn't enough of a clear distinction to segment all the kids that "show autistic behaviors"...and what if those behaviors are just temporary behaviors the kid is going through? People's thoughts and behaviors change throughout life. Besides maybe needing different teaching methods for language, what other needs would necessitate this label? Especially higher functioning autistic adults that seem to have been doing fine before they were assigned this label. Autism is likely something that is very different than what you think it is. Most often, the reason it gets diagnosed is because of extreme developmental lags early on. People with mid to low functioning autism will likely never live without assisted living for their entire life. The media skews towards high functioning because it's happier. Easier to write scripts that people watch if your character is just a bit quirky, rather than needs help using the bathroom and eating. --- Stabilized.
