Guest guest Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Don't worry, I'm sort on words today, too. Are you are saying people with " true " autism and " like " autism are both acting the same to avoid painful triggers? I think I get you, in that people with autism are more likely to be abused because people around them do not know how to support someone with autism who is trying to escape painful stuff? What I'm trying to say is that we need to find a way to have definitive testing -- blood tests, scans, etc that can differentiate the different reasons someone with autism is struggling or hurting so we can develop specific ways to be able to help them. In that way, those who are acting out " like " autism won't get an " autism " label with wrong helps, they will get the right label and the right treatments.
