I would think a mind that was working off of defence mechanisms or reshaped or degraded memory would not be able to ask or answer the question anyway.
Rather than a true person. What ever autism is about. Based on all the information of what Dr. Eric Schopler video actually shows. Since that was not me, yet they defined me with a autism so called label, then they now want to removed AS. Does not sound like they doing good, sound trusting evidence gathering.
Kinda like life one side says one thing & the other sides says another. Only someone with the sound mind would be able to think about both & pick the right one. Might make a mistake, but your willing to exam it more to find out if it has a shred of truth in it.
They is different types of autism they say. So that must mean they is different ways of causing it. One female in a video says one personality is autism. What ever the autism means in the first place.
