Autism is a soft diagnosis, with no objective confirmatory laboratory results. Thus some leeway in how strict to make the diagnosis. There is probably a way that a diagnosis of Autism will allow Social Security disability payments. Just a hunch.

Autism is a soft diagnosis, with no objective confirmatory laboratory results..

You would not say that if you had ever lived with a person suffering from autism.
