No, it's not on the autism spectrum because it isn't a thing. It isn't real.
And unless you have some medical expertise in the area, you deciding he has autism based on traits you think autistic people have is just bigoted against people with autism. Because that is not in any way in your wheelhouse.
Do you also decide on whether or not someone is gay based on 'gay traits?'
What attributes do all autistic people share and no neurotypical people have so that you can tell for sure someone is autistic through those attributes?
I think I'm on the autistic spectrum tho not officially diagnosed.
Do you also decide on whether or not someone is gay based on ‘gay traits?’
Actually yes. If you feel attracted to same sex people - I think it's fairly safe to assume you are gay or bisexual.
No. Not real. It is no longer a diagnosis. That means it is not real. Your link even says it "formerly described" a disorder. Do you know what "formerly" means?
And your self-diagnosis is also meaningless. Even psychiatrists do not self-diagnose.
If we change the name of something or the category it belongs to that doesn't mean he underlying thing doesn't exist.
Also, I know what formerly means.
It's the first link that explained the difference I came across.
Wait, do you think people can not have mental retardation? What?
Ok, here Wikipedia instead:
"Mental retardation, also known as intellectual disability, a disorder characterized by significantly impaired cognitive functioning and deficits in adaptive behaviors."
Well, I do believe I have ADHD, OCD, maybe autism, Schizoid PD (NOT schizophrenia) maybe more.
So yes. I very much so believe it has something to do with it.
