Post psychological theories you believe were sourced from the game of telephone known as The Replication Crisis. I'll start with Autism. I believe autism used to have a meaningful distinction, but over time through shady plagiarism in papers and extra "aspects" being tacked on by equally shady people, it became the "m'tism's a spectr'm" epidemic we currently have surrounding us.

One of the shady aspects is the symptom of being averse to being touched. You can easily imagine the potential for abuse: a child is molested by his kindergarten teacher, who uses his resulting aversion to being touched to cover it up and have him diagnosed, condemning him to a life of learned helplessness and abusive psychiatry.

I wholeheartedly agree. What do you think about how, in the last 6 or so years, they've been trying to use social engineering through TikTok and other socmed sites and apps to convince modern youth that any modicum of personal uniqueness is autism? I feel that's contributed more to the modern perception of the "illness" being seen as a spectrum than even the RC

I stopped using those kinds of social media exactly 6 years ago. What I do follow is stuff like that Yale psychiatrist giving her expert opinion on Trump without his consent to be treated and various people speculating about Putin having the 'tism. Soviet level mean girls shit is making a comeback.

Correct, but when talking about relative probabilites, I know you are more likely to be wrong than right, which means the complement is more likely than the conclusion

Autism has become just a polite way for a psychiatrist to say "narcissistic personality disorder" without scaring away business. Back in the 20th century only rich people could afford psychiatrists and autism was a severe condition on par with Down's syndrome, but once everyone was required to have health insurance psychiatrists are now "free" and so they've altered their practices to attract as much trade as possible.
One group of people thats particularly attracted to the prospect of sitting in an office and talking about themselves to anyone who will listen is people with narcissistic personality disorder and if the doctor tell them what they want to hear, that they're a unique special snowflake, then they'll keep on coming back every week, insuring a steady income for the doctor

Autism is insurance fraud, largely. It's also special snowflake syndrom and an extremely convenient diagnosis for hospitals to cover up cerebral palsy because the hospitals would otherwise have to cover for that.

If you want to dig into shady plagarism and poorly done research, get acquainted with Alzheimer's research. It's a shit show.
