I think that’s a fairly common sentiment. The severity of symptoms is a significant decider in how disordered someone is, and having clean deliniations makes sure that people with less disordered lives are not taking attenion awwy from the needs of those with more disordered lives.
But they do have clean deliniations. Aspergers is lvl 1 autism. I assume the reason for the change was to increase insurance recognition more than anything. Which is plenty sad on it’s own.
I don’t know about that. It’s more likely to have been for categorisation reasons. They’re the same sort of disorder where severe Asperger’s has strong overlaps with ASD, so they might have been bundled together to avoid confusion when it comes to diagnosis.
Well, I don’t recall where I heard it. So it may not be true.
That said, I have heard talk that some people think adhd is just another form of autism.
The reality is they really don’t know a lot about what causes any of them. So maybe they are putting them all in the same bucket because for all they know, they could all be caused by the same thing. Dunno. I still bet it has something to do with money. Everything always seems to.
