If anybody is ever interested look up spectrum disorders. These are the characteristics that are associated with autism. I am more than positive that most people in the world will fall into some of these categories. I think the generic autism diagnosis is kind of a cop out on the doctor's part.

I work with autistic kids.. a few individuals i really feel that its not fair that they are diagnosed with the same thing as the kids on the other side of the spectrum. I'm glad that they DSM-V is gonna change the way they define Autism.
