Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.

I think the writer is too focussed on a small amount of people on facebook. I find it is a good way of keeping in touch with my friend, who moved to Australia. I have my Dad and my brother as 'friends' and I don't write anything rude or take naughty pictures or anything so I haven't got to hide anything. It is a nice way of keeping in touch with all of them through sharing photos of what we have been doing without actually driving half the country to see each other (dad excuse #42) because it is quite hard for us to see each other.

I can't vote because I don't think it's wrong, but it doesn't seem accurate either. Mostly, the author's focus just seems weird, to me!
