Will ''autism'' will lose his medical signifiance just like ''hysteria'' ''imbecile'' and ''mongolism'' -

[Just wandering]

For various reason like:

Being regularly used as an insult on the internet can lead it to an euphemism threadmill in a similar manner like the word retard and moron.

Also we must considere autism is not a very precise condition. Ex: those may be extreme polarity but they show how broad the supposed spectrum is.

Low functioning/high functioning are widely used definiton enhancer but themself aren't very precise in cognitive capacity

You'll never escape from being called autistic. Get fugged nerd.

No, it's just giving the health system more reason to treat us autistics special because people are mean to us. Do whatever, just gibsmedats NEETbux.

I think there will be a more precise definition of different types of autism, possibly in response to wokeness.

There truly are vulnerable members of our societies that do rely on care provided by the rest of us, but there are also the idle and wilfully work shy who also claim this mantle.

I dont think it will lose its medical significance, but new words may well be introduced to designated state sanctioned "autism" vs Tumblrinas who have nothing wrong with them beyond being fuck ups.

We have to re-open mental institutions for these profoundly retarded and autistic individuals who will never be functional humans.

Autism is probably way over-diagnosed, seems like it is in vogue to throw everyone under that umbrella, just like ADHD was in vogue in the 90s and suddenly every other kid was diagnosed a sped, i can see how a lot of the people getting diagnosed with the tism today may end up being labeled with more specific new terms in a few years so they would not be called autistic any longer but some other thing, like it already happened with assburguers becoming the term for people only lightly kissed by the tism fairy.

Seems like between all the fields of medical advancement psychiatry is the most likely to retcon and contradict itself in record time, pretty much anything can go down.

I think the whole idea that it's a spectrum is a cop-out. In that sense, you may be onto something.

The bubble is bound to burst at one point.

The word "autism" will stop being used because, like so many other previously medical terms, it's being used mainly as an insult nowadays.
They'll just replace it with something else eventually.
