Criticism of Broad Autism Phenotype

I had not heard of this term before, so I don't have an opinion yet.

I did find an article with a definition; https://www.verywellhealth.com/what-is-the-broad-autism-phenotype-260048

(I'm currently on moderation, so I don't know when this will appear)

I hadn't actually heard of this definition before now, where you might have autistic traits but not so much you need support, which level one is according to the new definitions.

So this is a very useful link, SpikeyMark. 

I still wonder of this new definition isn't what would have been called PDD Nos in the older list of definitions.

I just took the link and it said that it's 'sub clinical' ie there wouldn't be a diagnosis of ASD so I don't think it correlates to Level 1  (or maybe you aren't making that connection?) ...

Indeed

No I'm not making that connection. Sub clinical doesn't lead to support.

And I don't want to correct any mistakes in my posts now, as editing afterwards can lead to getting moderated! 

Thankyou for your reply.

A wise decision as corrections do indeed lead to be sent into spamland.
