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.

    Key Differences Between BAP and Late-Diagnosed ASD

    Feature Broad Autism Phenotype (BAP) Late-Diagnosed ASD
    Severity of Traits Milder, subclinical traits Meets clinical criteria for ASD
    Functional Impact Minimal to moderate Often significant, leading to diagnosis
    Diagnosis Not a clinical diagnosis; subthreshold Diagnosed as ASD
    Coping Strategies Masking with less distress Masking often leads to burnout
    Recognition Observed in families of autistic people Personal recognition after years of struggles

     still think it is rubbish developed by NT folks in academic ivory towers!
