>Changes to the way autism is diagnosed may make it harder for many people who would no longer meet the criteria to get health, educational and social services, researchers say.

And just like that, /jp/ is rocked to its core...

The proper term for autism is "autism spectrum disorder."

Because it's not one disorder, it's many.

They're just fine tuning the diagnostic criteria, making things more specific. The disorders that are excluded from the new definition of autism won't go away, they'll be grouped somewhere else.

What am I going to do now that liking anime isn't enough to qualify me for autism bux? Do I have to start pooping on the floor now?

Yes. Make sure to take pictures and stuff them in the nearest doctor's mailbox. He'll understand.

This is not a problem.

/jp/ will simply learn to hone its autism in response to this evolutionary pressure.

Assburgers was never really autism anyway. What's the big deal, all you have to do if put a little more effort into it if you haven't done so and gotten your autism bucks already. Or well if you have autism anyway.

Dress and name your poops after Touhou characters. Buy them doll houses and feed them every day. Take a leashed pet poop personally to your doctor and tell him it's your waifu and give it a nice kiss. Show him their birth pictures too.

Joke's on you, buttface. I'm already counted as autistic, this only applies to people who haven't yet.
