Adults get weird when the indoctrinating they and society put so much effort into doesn’t take hold. So much so, that they find some mental illness like Autism to label the child with.
I did not imply autism doesn’t exist. I implied that kids who don’t fall in line with their social programming run the risk of being diagnosed with autism as it’s easier then reflecting on where or not the programming is correct.
“Neuro-divergent” seems to be the catch-all today. Though I guess that’s considered on the spectrum too? Anyway, the majority of these cases seem to be “diagnosed” by YouTube parents.
I was diagnosed by an over ambitious child study team member in kindergarten that convinced my mother I had a learning disability. What followed was 13 years of wasted public education because every success proved the program worked and every failure proved the program was necessary.
If it had happened today, I would have been diagnosed with autism and nothing would be better.

What??
Did I studder? If kids don’t respond the way adults want them to, they get labeled as being a Problem.
Stutter*
That makes more sense, I just didn’t get why you mentioned autism in your first comment. Seems like an odd take to me.
Advertising/Propaganda doesn’t work as well on people with Autism. I called it a mental illness because regardless of what flowery language society decides to use to describe neurodivergent people, they will treat them like pariahs.
This implies autism isn’t a real thing and that’s pretty off base
