    Yeah, its a bit strange that even now there are some downsides to having an official diagnosis. I remember reading about a court case where a father was not able to get custody of his children because he was diagnosed with ASD. So even though we pretend there aren’t any repercussions for having a disorder, there still are edge cases like this.

    Personally I think it stems from the stigma around ASD.
