Why did they invent autism?

As a way of categorizing a spectrum of behavioral and personality traits that tend to be comorbid with one another.

It always tickled my tism that they use the term spectrum when clearly they meant multi-dimensional. Spectrum made everyone think autism is like a linear scale and everyone can be a little autistic.

Creating a new market

What did he mean by this?

>>16699988 (OP)
To hide the fact that school and job sucks

Doesn't help that they did actually come up with autism levels, but those are to gauge the impact on an individual's ability to function in society instead of being a score of autism severity, even though they are somewhat related.

Why does the concept of Autism trigger so many on 4chan? It's also interesting on /sci/ specifically the rise of anger over Autism seems to coincide with the reduction in Mensa hate threads but maybe that's a pirates cause global warming type of correlation.

Who is "they"?

Cool it with the anti semitic remarks pal

Honestly it feels like its the new fad mental health. Not long ago everyone was being diagnosed as bipolar. Now everyone is on the spectrum.

>it feels like
So, it's an emotional reaction you had to the world and nothing scientific.

Autism isn't the problem. Anti-autism is. If it wasn't for anti-autism the vast majority of autists would live normal lives, have jobs, and have kids.

>anti-autism
the fuck is this?

Autism is not a real disease in many Islamic nations. In fact, many nations all over the world do not recognize it as a real disease. Experienced researchers in psychopharmacology point out that these "conditions" are invented to market addictive prescription drugs for profit.

I mean, just think about it for a second. What kind of "disease" is not recognized worldwide as an actual disease? Real diseases have physical causes that empirical and reproducible in a lab. Why is "autism" not a real disease in Afghanistan? Because, according to scientists, such diagnoses are invented and overdiagnosed in order to market drugs for a profit incentive.

Now combine this with an anti-intellectual culture that discourages free inquiry and questioning of corrupt power structures. Do you ever think about how backwards it is to suppress and discourage intellectualism? What a grift, imagine making it a social taboo to actually use your brain and a social virtue to be a degenerate.

Autism is not a real disease.

It is not a real, physical disease.

Transgenderism? This is also pseudoscience.

It was invented by a literal zionist Jew to market addictive hormone drugs.

Why do people think that pseudoscience does not exist? It never just went away.

Just like in the past, many things we consider "science" today will not be in the future.

Corruption? That is very real, and psychopharmacology in particular has a lot of documented corruption.

It may as well be a creative writing exercise. One could simply sit down and invent a disease out of thin air if it depends on a subjective assessment of behavior.

That is why people should be careful about who they give intellectual authority to. It is absolutely absurd to think that intellectual authority is a power that no one would abuse.

>Uh... that's "autistic"

>*Chopping your dick off and permanently damaging your endocrine system*

>*Stripping the flesh off your forearm to make a frankenstein flesh tube "penis" that does not actually work*

>Totally valid! Big money!

Lobotomists made money as well.
