I complained earlier today in an email that I try these days not to use the word “autistic” because my sense (as a layman) is that the meaning of the term has gotten expanded way past any real usefulness.
My correspondent in the UK replied—”autistic seems to have epxnaded to include males in general over here.”
Brilliant—pretty much sums up where it feels like we are these days all over the place, then.
Austistic = Male
