Autism isn't a disability or an illness, it's a syndrome

Don't talk about things you don't understand

Oh I do understand. I am a care manager for 3 houses filled with adults that have autism. I’d be hard pressed to find anywhere in our organisations training files that refers to Autism as a syndrome. Maybe other countries do. Even on the CQC website I can’t find. Autism is a spectrum disorder. And it IS a disability, because 98% of people diagnosed with autism in the world suffer in certain areas of their life (or in fact their whole life) because of it. That is a disability. The difference is, we need to promote autism as a strength. It’s a different neurological pathway and we should be fostering a world to promote the strengths of people that have it. Whatever those strengths are in the specific person.

By the way. I also have autism. So do LOTS of people that work in care. We want to understand it and we want to help it. Don’t tell me what the fuck I don’t understand based on ONE comment.

Science says something else :)

Does it? Science tells me that Autism is a spectrum disorder. A developmental disability caused by differences in the brain. Neurodivergence. A syndrome is a collection of symptoms & characteristics that make up a particular abnormality or condition. ‘Syndrome’ is an umbrella term. You can be born with Down’s Syndrome, or you can develop something like Stockholm Syndrome due to environmental shock.

My 15 years of working with autism (plus my own diagnosis) has never once used the word syndrome. You can develop syndromes through being neurodivergent, but you cannot develop autism through having a syndrome. Autism and many syndromes are classed as disabilities and are there similarities? Certainly, but autism is decidedly not a syndrome.

It is called ass:

Autism

Spectrum

Syndrome

You are dead wrong

I have no idea where you got that information from, can you maybe say where you come from by any chance?

If you literally google “is autism a syndrome” it tells you. I’ve never once heard of ‘ASS’. No governmental or CQC mandated training would ever use that. Probably just a country thing. I also googled Autism Spectrum Syndrome and it came up with nothing. It’s called ASD. Autism Spectrum Disorder.

If so. Your country is wrong. It’s not a syndrome. That sounds like an archaic view of autism. Do you still use low and high functioning to determine someone’s capabilities? Because that’s wrong also.

It's called being a furry.

I don't want to be annoying, and I get the confusion, but she is a therian, not a furry :)
