That is also severely misdiagnosed. I had a psychiatrist try to tell me I had adult ADHD symptoms, when I know the reality is that I don’t exercise anywhere close to what I should be (and I could probably improve my diet more, but exercise is the main component I need to work on). The mental health industry is often filled with people incentivized to prescribe medication to clients, and the impact has and will continue to be devastating.
The idea of a broad spectrum just seems so sinister, especially for a diagnosis of the mind. What could simply be normal quirks that are a product of how the person grew up turns into a question of whether the brain is defective.
It’s absurd for Autism to have such a vast range that a perfectly self-sufficient individual could share a classification with someone who is so mentally incapacitated that they are completely unable to live by themselves.
What I’ve noticed is leftists co-opting terms like “coomers,” even though these same leftists are the biggest sexual degenerates imaginable. This is especially prevalent with the Skullgirls backlash and the frustration at how ugly female characters are designed in Western games. Eventually we will get to the point where they start calling their opponents “consoomers” or whatever 4chan meme words they latch onto.
This will be either ignored by colleges, or they will find some workaround where they can claim they aren’t using race to determine selection. Here is an example, they can pull data to look at schools and select people based on which schools have lower graduation rates or lower GPAs. There are always correlative trends that can be used to get the outcome they desire and also makes it much harder to prove in court that they are discriminating based on race.
That depends on if the Japanese version was changed as well. The Japanese have been slowly allowing the "localizers" to provide feedback directly to them, so they may have more influence on the content in Japanese in addition to the global translations. It's only going to get worse.
The article captures the essence of the problem quite well, and as Harold says, it is only going to get much, much worse in short order. Though I think there is significant blame by the private sector with exporting production and jobs overseas. The article mentions Boeing but fails to dive into how the use of cheap Indian labor was a major factor in the failure of the 737 Max. A lot of companies are hiring less competent people to increase profits. There are countless Indian programmers being hired whose qualifications are questionable at best and often replacing the white workers who built the systems in the first place.
They seem to be placing all of their bets on the white population of every country being replaced by blacks (and hispanics in the US), and they perhaps rightfully believe that starting to raceswap everything will garner them praise as they try to build a "fanbase" of blacks and hispanics who will become loyal consumers in the future....
The spectrum wasn't removed. They removed Asperger's as separate from Autism and instead incorporated it into the autism spectrum, so the spectrum was made even broader.
