My sister works with handicapped children, many of whom are "autistic". It's been known for a long time that many diagnoses are probably wrong. Many times, they just look at the symptoms and see what "template" they fall into, and then they label the children. The symptoms for autism are similar to a lot of different developmental disorders, but it's just easier (or lazier) to put them into one group.
