In autism terms, 30 years is eons. 30 years ago, autism was a much "narrower" disorder than it is today.
However, many clinicians still stick to 30-year-old notions--such as when one might say: "you can't have autism, you show too much empathy for people."
Sometimes I wonder if only "one sort of autism" exists,
one cause of it.
Some people say, that after changing their nutrition their symptoms lessened.
I read about monozygotic twins with autism but vey different symptoms of autism,
though the core symptoms were present, but one was inclined to very loud sound, the other one could not even bear very light sound.
Diary changes had diffrent outcomes in both.
I also wonder if when in the autism spectrum is referred to "low functioning autists" which means autistic persons with intellectual disability if in the neurotypical world people with intellectual disability are referred to as being "low functioning neurotypical", which won't be the case, as neurotypical persons do not refer to themselves as neurotypical persons.
