@clacke @schtobia the problem with the term "autism" is that it has become so broad, it's effectively meaningless.

  @schtobia @clacke for the parents in Autism Speaks, "autism" describes children with serious learning disabilities and behavioural problems

  @schtobia @clacke if people used the word "cancer" to describe any uncommon skin condition, it would be no less confusing and divisive
