I hope that's the net result, just afraid that so many others will be dismissive of someone asserting autism, particularly with certain folks seeming to think being autistic is a license to be inconsiderate while claiming it also means you are smart and so is worth declaring a self-diagnosis.

it's like how my government narrows down the definition of who's considered under poverty, then they celebrates that they now have less population under poverty. the exact moment when the last 5 years economy is getting worse.
