Autism is real. What is unreal is the catch-all categorization of the symptoms into such a broad & diverse group. Never in human history has medical professionals not known exactly what causes it & then have two people with completely different symptoms placed in the autistic category. As all in the medical field know, DSM guidelines dictate who gets coverage & as such, if all the individuals with such a myriad of symptoms were told they had an unknown disease/condition,they would not get coverage.The issue at hand is that this type of categorization stunts research to alleviate or cure at least on set of known symptoms & it prevents proper categorization of individuals that may or may not be dangerous & as such keep them away from guns & children. Adam Lanza is an example of such danger.
