Is Autism too inclusive?!

It was interesting article, I would say I partially agree and also disagree. Whatever it is, I'm kinda tired and scared of all this huge and quite argumentative debate. From thinking that im the only alien in this huge world, around two years ago I came to the realisation,  that im not the only one. And then it turned out, that there are a lot of people like me and that this diagnosis is a popular diagnosis and overdiagnosed etc. I don't know where the truth lays, I can only say, I'm here because I found here my place and like minded people. But when I see, what is going on around im reluctant about going for diagnosis myself. The therapy gave me a lot of understanding of myself and also helped me find words to describe what I feel and what are my problems. My school years passed already, I grew up unsupported and even if I get a diagnosis of autism now, it wouldn't have changed all trauma that I went through because of being misunderstood,  bullied etc. 

I don't insist on getting the autism diagnosis,  but on getting the right diagnosis after being multiple times misdiagnosed and mistreated in my life. I don't know if that lady has any idea of it. There are always people,  who get long years of misdiagnosis,  wrong treatment,  because the doctors themselves don't really know, how to treat them. From my experience I can say, depression is the easiest and fastest diagnosis,  does not need any long observations,  so even patients,  that don't meet the criteria of depression,  get this diagnosis at the beginning.  Just to label the patient at the beginning,  and then "we will see".
