autism has been a godsend for the pharmaceutical & psychiatric industry

[prince of shitskins]

imagine a clinical disease, (or was it a mental disorder?), with such a vague set of obscure symptoms, that it needs to be called a spectrum. there's no test for it, there's no way to disprove you have it once you've been labeled with it, and the person issuing the diagnosis has less credibility than the local fortune teller.

by this criteria, anyone on the planet could be "autistic" on a bad day. 




how convenient

i don't believe in conspiracy theories, but there's obviously a huge push to get people to believe this crap. and fart sniffers fall for it

i'm not saying autism isn't real, i'm just saying it should be classified under brain damage instead. funny that autism rates correlate DIRECTLY with the age of the parents.... you know what the cure for brain damage is? that's right, there isn't a cure, and if there was, it's certainly not shitty SSRI pills

maybe one day neuroscience will have the answers, until then i'm not buying it

I think a lot of autism diagnoses should be CPTSD diagnoses.

yeah


it can manifest as that later on if you've been living with a dysfunctional family too long

the trouble is all these psychiatric terms lose credence when you start throwing them around willy nilly, and the diagnoses don't really provide any solutions

the constructs of psychology and mental health need to be revamped from the ground up
