Wow. Spectacular idiot, this man.
Why does anyone even listen to someone this ignorant? He thinks Autism is diagnosed merely by observing "poor" behaviour? Let's just conveniently overlook the hours/days spent administering batteries of tests in order to determine such things as:
Executive functioningSocial skills functioningPragmatic language usage/understandingExpressive and receptive language skillsFine and gross motor skillsFunctional behavior analysisAcademic achievement levelsCognitive (IQ) achievement levels
If you happen to be a reader of mine who actually listens to this guy (unlikely, but I suppose possible), I assume you are smarter than THIS a-hole, and maybe you could send some feedback about the completely pathetic stupidity being promoted by his comments.
Also, this is a rather entertaining response over on the HighlyPlacedSources blog.
Thanks to Amy C. for the handy list of tests!
