If everyone is on the spectrum, then no one is.

Why do you think everyone will be on the spectrum?

I don't think that'll be the case I'm afraid, OP - I'd say that saying even 15-20% of the population having it would be pushing it.

Yeah.

The electromagnetic spectrum.

When we all get atomized in a nuclear conflagration.

Some people believe AS is the new evolution of humans. Then pretty soon so many people will have it it won't be a disorder anymore because it be the norm. It's just a theory of course so no point in arguing over it. What only bugs me is when they insist they are right or act like they are.

Any statistical evidence supporting this statement?

The DSM has changed and the texts will be released soon. This will actually reduce the number of people on the spectrum, streamline the diagnoses of those that are, and prevent future misdiagnosis.

I was being semi serious. What is evolution? It's change. Genetic wise, it's mutations. Doesn't necessarily have a meaning of good or bad. It's just different

Could you clarify this for me? I didn't think anyone would have to be rediagnosed, or at least most won't.
