>Autism simply got tied up with entitlements and the diagnosis has been grossly abused as a lever to get access to said entitlements

I just love when narrowminded Americans (I would wager 1000$ that the poster is from that country) assume the thing that happens in their city/state/country is a worldwide phenomenon with the rest of us 8 billion people.

And even better writing in this snarky obfuscating style so the rest of us don't have a clue what they're talking about. Entitlements???

In my (EU) country talking about your mental issues is simply not done, let alone your actual diagnosis.

According to their comments, they are Canadian. If you'd still like to wager, I'll happily collect the money.
