Something else I've been thinking about, when I was younger there seemed to be alot of EH kids, EH standing for emotionally handicapped. This was also called fetal alcohol syndrome, as it's a side effect of consuming alcohol while pregnant. I used to volunteer with EH kids when I was a a teenager. Now as an adult I don't hear about EH anywhere near as much as I did a little over 10 years ago, but many of the symptoms some "autistic" kids are said to have seem to mirror EH kids.
Autism is real, don't get me wrong, but a HUGE symptom of autism is inability to connect with people / adults- especially their mothers. EH kids are the opposite, they are actually very clingy to maternal figures. The only thing the two really have in common is lack of focus and disturbing lack of empathy. Neither condition seem to grasp emotions or understand what it means to inflict pain on others.
But anyway, more to my point, some of the children I have interracted with recently diagnosed with autism have been very responsive to me, not to other children, but they act similar to the EH kids I used to work with. It makes me wonder if EH / Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is being misdiagnosed and lumped into autism.
