This whole community that formed thanks to him is so exceptional. And I’m in awe of it whenever I get to experience it in real life. Just a bunch of strangers crying together hahah.

i dont really understand the difference but if ur interested i found this which explains it. but basically to me at least disease has a negative connotation when talking abt mental illness and developmental disorders as it indicates there’s something wrong with ur functioning that needs to be fixed and until it is fixed you’re not normal or able to function. whereas a disorder is more,, u have a different system of functioning that is not the same as everyone elses but is not dangerous or bad. so. i feel like disease is not a correct way to describe autism. i have a professor who specialises in asd tho so i could easily email her and find out, if you’d like a professionals opinion? also just fyi the dsm5 was published 4 years ago so the definitions could’ve changed since then.

is autism defined as a mental disease? bc that makes me uncomfortable ngl. in my psych classes we call it a developmental disorder which seems more appropriate to me
