@jeremiah @levisan well it def has changed, in that asperger’s (and now adhd) are increasingly seen as part of the same “spectrum” of neurological conditions. and of course there’s the pop understanding of the conditions too which is often nonsense. but i don’t think it’s a conspiracy to try to medicalize everything. we’ve seen demedicalization of it too — seeing them as neurotypes that can exist without needing treatment rather than as just disorders
