You got barn cats and you want to make them tamed, you need to get them as kittens.
I am also a believer in an integrated treatment approach to autism.
You simply cannot tell other people they are stupid, even if they really are stupid.
When I was younger, I didn't even realize the way I think visually is different.
These diagnostic profiles like depression, ADHD, autism, dyslexia, it's half science and the other half is a committee of doctors bickering over what it should be, and it has changed. It's not precise like a diagnosis of tuberculosis would be very precise.
I think that the definition of autism is too broad. You got to remember, autism definition is a behavioral profiling.
