    It’s frustrating that this term:

    a) Doesn’t appear in any published literature

    b) Appears to have been coined in the last decade in a magazine article whose author has a degree from a non-accredited college.

    But’s let’s just make up terms at will so we can pathologize ourselves proudly and not hurt any fee-fees!

      You say this like Shakespeare wrote about autism.

      b) Appears to have been coined in the last decade in a magazine article whose author has a degree from a non-accredited college.

      What? Appears based on what? Does something that happened in the last decade become invalidated for some reason?
