[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 558072, member: 84"] Connor and Alex still qualify, but then they're further down the spectrum too. I think perhaps this might be an attempt to stop dxing those with just certain characteristics of autism spectrum with the actual disorder itself. Because the [B]two[/B] are not the same thing. Nearly all of my grandsons so far at least have some of the characteristics, but only 2 show enough of those characteristics to actually say they have it. That is not to say that depending on which characteristics they have, that they can't have it affect their lives in a negative way as well. Know what I mean?? in my opinion docs are too quick to diagnosis autistic spectrum these days, just as they went through a major period where they were (and some still do) ADD/ADHD. You just can't fit every person into a nice neat tidy box no matter how hard you try to do so. Just my take on it. [/QUOTE]
