John Worst my friend calls him.
Of course AS is vanishing, they are taking it out of the DSM and making it all autism. Of course it's a label. I had a verbal delay of course and other developmental delays and I got diagnosed with AS. I had hearing loss was why so I functioned in the HFA range.
I don't think AS is vanishing though. What does he mean it's vanishing? People won't be born with it or the condition goes away? You will always have it but you can lose the diagnoses I've read. Maybe someday I will lose mine. I used to think I had out grown it but I am done thinking that. I thought that a few times already and then I'd realize I still have it. My husband can tell and he says he sees it everyday in me. My friends can tell, my therapists could tell and I am sure my doctor can tell. Other people can tell (if they know me long enough) but they don't know why I am this way.
My mom thinks no one would never guess I have a condition because I am close to normal. But as a child kids knew I was different. Kids knew in high school too and my mom thought they didn't know. People just have to live with me or see me everyday to know. Or maybe they don't know and they just think other things of me instead. My husband said it's good that he knows or else he might have thought I was violent, rude, I don't care about him, and I am not into him. With my label, he is able to look at it differently. He used to think I was impatient until he found out I had ADD. Now he knows I just have a short attention span and I get antsy and anxious if I am standing in one place too long bored.

The main point of the video is to calm parents, try to inform them that if they go to his practice that he can treat the child so that 'you may never know he had these issues' as he says at the end of the video.
I think he sort of misspoke himself. Or it's possible that he actually believes it. Doesn't make it true, though.
Besides, anybody that would make a video with such a short lens (looks like an 18mm or something)... gives me nausea actually. Visually distorted. Ick. But that really doesn't have anything to do with the content.

His words were kinda complex... but he wasn't saying aspergers is an autoimmune system disorder.
He is trying to reconcile the idea that there is no longer a need for a diagnostic category of aspergers. He is linking his words with the fact that the DSMV will no longer include aspergers.
I don't think I agree with him. "Labels" help to identify and thereby promote knowledge and understanding.

Losing aspergers from the DSMV is crap.

The kids with autoimmune disorder (he talks about) must have been diagnosed wrongly.
But aspergers as described in the DSMIV is very specific.... I don't see how it could be confused with gluten allergy.

It's like when the Scientific Community decided a few years ago that Pluto wasn't and never had been a planet. Like that had some effect on Pluto way out there?
I'll keep orbiting and rotating, whatever they call me, thank you kindly.

He is a quack a-doodle that is for sure and I left a nice little response and one stared his video.
Yet again more bullshit as all of the things you mentioned have been disproven time after time. Also as a person who is autistic I find you to be quite offensive as well and I hope you get your medical license revoked for taking advantage of people.

All he had to say was about children. What about those of us who weren't diagnosed until adulthood?

Us adults don't count. I got my dx when doing a teacher ed program. No wonder it wasn't for me.
