Autism used to be a boys only club, then the social workers came along and started talking about how girls were "undiagnosed" because "they were better at hiding it" and more resources should be used to support them.

Cant have shit to ourselves anymore.

There was a valid reason here.
A lot of girls who were diagnosed bipolar turned out to have sensory issues and other stuff outside of social issues which indicate autism.

If you wanna know why the autism debate is so fucked, allow me to introduce the advocates.

On one side, you have the "autism moms". Soccer moms who basically get their karen license the day their child is diagnosed and build fucking fortresses around their kids.

The other side, "autism rights" groups. In my experience, I've noticed the most frequent with them is that they huff serious copium to the point that any mention of medical or genetic research is met with eugenics accusation. It borders on taboo to not downright love your autism in these groups.

Don't believe me? Next time you see any post about genetic research or medical treatments, go on any autism subreddit, look in any comments section, watch them screeching until someone who took a few minutes to research what was linked comes in and explains what's actually is going on with the research. Then everyone shuts the fuck up before waiting for the next post to scream about. Happens like goddamn clockwork.

Basically autistic people are pretty fucked because the discourse is handled by two groups of people more concerned with a narrative than anything
