Theres no uniform definition of autism. If you go to 10 different psychiatrists for a diagnosis, you'll get 10 different answers most relying on heavy self reporting by either the parents or the patient. None of this is accurate.
- go_elmo 3y agoThere is, its the dsm-5 diagnostic criteria. Sure, giving that diagnosis is no mathematical proof, but the criteria are clear.
- mwbajor 3y agoI'm not saying there isn't criteria, I mispoke, I'm saying its not very objective. In other words, the criteria is so broad you can almost diagnose anyone with autism. Figuring out if a person has a particular problem is the first thing you need to do before you can correct that problem... and there appears to be no accurate way of doing that for autism.
