"There was no autism diagnosed before 1930."

Pluto wasn't discovered until 1930, but I'm pretty sure it was there the whole fucking time.

@grrlscientist They really need to make the diagnostic criteria and classification more clear though. I understand what they were trying to do with the spectrum method but it is too broad and, let's face it, idiots like RFK Jr lack the mental ability to comprehend something that complex and nuanced.

I'm wondering if there is anything - even the clearest description - that could convince the ppl you mentioned to believe it exists before.

Facts don't matter if your true believe is different and so don't match for those.

@ScharfeZunge @grrlscientist Nothing can be done about belief based on faith rather than science and fact.

It is also indicative of how few people know about the scientific method and how a hypothesis becomes a theory/fact. They just understand confirmation bias because it is easy and requires no effort.

Just the end of the plan for conservatives and their decades long dismantling of education and teaching critical thinking.
