Today, during my first date with a girl I've liked for awhile, she tells me about some minor disabilities she was born with. Wanting to be honest with her too, I tell her I'm slightly autistic. Her response was, "I'm sorry this isn't going to work. I can't date a retard." I had to eat alone after that. FML

Families are much more aware of autism and will go to doctors after thinking of seeing symptoms. Also we now ask screening questions for autism which wasn't done even as late as the 90s. Doctors are also much more aware of autism, lots of autistics would be diagnosed as "mental retardation" in the 80s

I have high functioning autism, yet I am a medical doctor who went to an ivy league college. But... Considering that the way of judging IQ is a test based on both social and communication skills it is impossible to fairly judge someone's IQ if they have deficits in these areas. This is proven with non-whites scoring lower as it's a test based on Caucasian language and culture. Considering diagnose of autism must have 2 symptoms in both communication and social categories, its easy to see that there is no way to accurately judge an autistics iq

She was probably lying about hers to get pity. Apparently she can't handle the truth.

She sounds like someone you wouldn't want to date anyway. Seriously! Be glad that you found out what she's really like before you got into a relationship with her.

Some people are just ignorant. My son is a high functioning autistic and he is one of the brightest children I know, and I'm not just saying that because I'm his mother. He is brilliant, at the age of 5 he could take a computer apart and put it back together. At 7 he built a battery operated cellphone charger because my phone would always die on road trips because my car charger stopped working. If you knew him, retarded is the last word you would ever think of using to describe him. His father on the other hand...not a single disability at all whatsoever and he is dull as a doorknob. People with autism are brilliant individuals that just have a different perspective, once you understand that perspective you see them for what they are, which would be marvelous individuals that have insights that can change the world, and they are only held back from a lack of "normal" social skills and awful stereotypes.

#186 is right. You could say this about loads of conditions. There are more diagnoses today because today we know about autism. In the past, autistic people would just have been labelled "eccentric", "crazy", "slow", etc. Of course it's possible that some doctors do over-diagnose and label some people as mildly autistic (as in, on the mild end of the autistic spectrum) when they are actually not, but if they're seeing a specialist in the first place they're clearly having some sort of difficulties, and if that diagnosis helps them, I can't see that should matter to anyone else.
