Guest guest Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 It's OK, It's Politically Correct to Stigmatize Persons on Intellectual Disabled, Low Functioning End of the Autism Spectrum.........The NYT and Professor Grinker do not urge anyone to refrain from such fears on the basis that there is nothing wrong with being placed in a disorder category with persons with intellectual disabilities. Instead, in 2010 they try to imply that persons with autism disorders don't really have intellectual disabilities at all. This is a falsehood, perpetuated by successive revisions of the DSM including the DSM 5. In 2010 it is OK, it is in fact politically correct to stigmatize the intellectually disabled members of the autism spectrum in order to make some persons with Aspergers feel comfortable about formal inclusion in the autistic disorder category.......... __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
