Criticism of Broad Autism Phenotype

NAS73676

I have some criticism of Broad Autism Phenotype.

Broad Autism Phenotype seems to blur the lines between a neurotypical that has persistent autistic traits and a person with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Tha argument can be made is if s person has a diagnosis or not. 

There are also some people that have Unspecified Neurodevelopmental Disorder that have symptoms similar to Autism Spectrum Disorder, but they may not meet full diagnostic criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder.

It's just so confusing.

  • I do not like this definition. It seems to me to be a move to place some folks with ASD (whatever level) into a new category that would not meet the definition of disabled in uk.

    Seems to jump on the bandwagon of the right who claim that some of use are using reasonable adjustments to get perks!

    This seems to be a made up interpretation of level 1 ASD combined with masking. It then goes on to talk about the toll masking takes leading to autistic burnout. It is a complete contradiction. Pure rubbish.
