Why people label people say they Autism?
I hear autism more and more lately? why people label someone a autism if they don't want to social with people or want to work on the thing they like more?
mostly like everyone has autism if they think label somone with it.
but real life no one is normal everyone has strange way of thinking
Because it's easy to dismiss people that are different than you by saying there's something wrong with them.

Because there is a growing trend of autism appearing in children and it has yet to be explained. The diagnostic requirements for autism have not really changed, it's just appearing more.

Most people do think similarly... It's delusional to think they dont.
Everyone likes to feel unique, special, but the reality of the situation is the majority of people are pretty similiar.

Because its easier to blame your shortcomings on a disease.
Disgusting that people would use that as an excuse, but I don't doubt for a second that they do.

You know, the line between what a disease is and what isn't is really really blurry.
What do you call a shortcoming that you can't fix and that doesn't go away by itself?
Of course it's easier. Something being intrinsically hard doesn't make it "better".

Autism has only been accepted as a disorder/disability in last decade or so and as we learn more about it, it becomes easier to diagnose, which in turn means the diagnosis rate increases.
It's also incredibly ignorant to say people are being diagnosed with Autism because they don't like to socialize as no one symptom of Autism is true for all cases and you may have friends on the spectrum and not even know it.
Also the BS about flu shots causing Autism doesn't help.

This pretty much.
They've changed the possible cause of autism like 2-3 times the past 20 years. Hell, I might not be autistic for psychologists anymore in 5 years. :/

They told me something along the lines of 'We're thinking you have autism. We're not sure which one it is. Most likely Aspergers. Again, I'll repeat, we are not sure.' lol
I'm fairly normal functioning so it's not like I stand out directly.

Whenever I read about a mental disorder I think to myself - "everyone does this".

i been labeled autistic once, however later non official tests proved that this psychiatrist that put the label on me was wrong.
but hey, i dont mind that label since ill exploit the **** out of it. where i live people with autism get paid 200-300 euro more a month by welfare (did i say that right? welfare/dole?)
so yeah, yay free money... thats the least they can give me back for treating me like a lab rat between the age of 7-16 ish
