Autism

A mental health condition typically characterized by impaired social skills, obsessive interests, repetitive behaviors, and stimming. The spectrum is famously gigantic, and each individual with autism is different. Most people with this condition aren’t savants although some are. Some people with this condition “pass” as not having it as there’s symptom overlap between autistic people non-autistic people.

Hans Asperger was the first psychologist to have observed autism. He thought of it as a neurological difference to be respected. Leo Kanner took credit for his work and introduced a harsher view of autism.

This culminated in autism being thought of as childhood “psychosis” that resulted from bad parenting. Many people believe that autism rates have been increasing when, in fact, autism diagnosis has only been increasing because of the changing medical model.
