Is Autism too inclusive?!

I think it's caused by fear from NT's that they might not be so typical afterall. 

It makes not sense to me that us latelings should be excluded because the condition we have wasn't identified until recently, well within many of our life times. 

I wonder where these late diagnosis deniers think Autism comes from? As it seems to run in families a genetic cause would seem sensible, although no one gene has been found "responsible", but a variety of them. Unless someone wishes to follow the Kenedy route and believe its all caused by vaccinations or some other ill of modern life, I dont' see how you can deny adults with autism. Even if you believe in the much discredited vaccine cause, many of us alive today with and without autism will have been vaccinated, children have been being vaccinated sinse before I was born and I'm 64! What about those who were diagnosed early on in life who are now adults, does thier autism disapear on thier 18th birthday?

I do think there are more variants of autism are commonly believed, there seems to be quite a split between how autism manifests in many women as opposed to how it manifests in many men, but there are cross overs. I think much of the gender or allegded gender differences are social constructs anyway as is gender. I know gender as a social construct is difficult to how many people think about gender, but it is quite distinct from sex and sexual orrientation. 

The more of us who are diagnosed the less we can be othered and the more we become part of the normal variations of humanity. I'd hesitate to suggest that someone goes for diagnosis as a political act, but it's fast becoming one.
