It could be Tylenol or it could be vaccines or it could even be the dreaded ghey or maybe those dastardly drag queens!
Jokes aside we really are still at the leeches stage when it comes to mental health. Assuming our civilization doesn't collapse and that is assuming a lot in 200 years they're going to look back and wince when they see how we handle mental health care.

My take on reading the summary is that doctors should try to separate more classifications of "autism". Try to quantify different symptoms into different groups and classify it as different things. Then try to find causes, if any other than random DNA mutations. However, I feel very strongly that we should fund the greatest minds who go through Medical School, and trust their conclusions, and not a Politician who pulls shit out of his ass.

According to himself the dude is "extremely autistic". He should seek professional help in order to better function in society instead of posting here all day long. I suggested it to him to no avail. He has been getting even much worse lately. He is a fervent and prominent proponent of anything I ever heard of that maybe, just maybe might ever cause autism, including fluoride and what not. Go figure!
In his own words:

I'm extremely autistic so I don't think it works on me.

I agree with the idea that there are multiple issues, all lumped under one. What I see is labelling someone who's fascinated by something as "autistic", when it's not something the labeller finds of any interest.
Precision is *necessary* in some cases - I mean, do you need a new wisget on the frammistat to fix your car?
But that list of traits... reminds me of most gun nuts.
