@terftastic1 Gender dysphoria still is? https://t.co/07Lb8nllZ1 Are you curious about the distinction in terms between that and "gender identity disorder"? Or thinking of the WHO ICD-11 changes that did attempt to reclassify "gender incongruence" as a sexual health problem...?

AI synopsis
What people are saying
The majority of discussions focus on the contentious nature of gender identity and mental health, rather than engaging with the publication's findings about autistic portrayals. For example, many posts refer to gender dysphoria as a mental disorder and criticize notions of gender diversity, using phrases like 'confused thinking' and asserting 'it's mental illness.' This use of dismissive language and focus on political correctness detracts from a constructive dialogue regarding the article's contributions to understanding autistic characters in television, demonstrating how the posts' tone overshadows the actual research discussed.
The majority of posts strongly disagree with the publication's portrayal and findings, reflecting a rejection of its conclusions regarding autistic representation in media.
There appears to be overall disinterest in the article's content, with posters focusing instead on unrelated topics like gender identity and mental health.
The discussions exhibit a dismissive attitude towards the publication, with minimal depth or serious engagement in the subject matter.
Users perceive the publication as having negligible impact, as conversations primarily revolve around other contentious issues that distract from the core topic.
Abstract in brief
- The study investigates the accuracy of autistic portrayals in six U.S. television programs, assessing alignment with medical and social models of disability.
- Findings reveal that social-communication difficulties are emphasized over behavioral traits in character representations, with children's shows portraying autistic characters more positively than adult programs.
- The results suggest that many shows depict autism in a neurodiversity-affirming way, offering valuable insights for writers and advocates regarding the impact of these portrayals on public perceptions.

@becca_begotten @MrCassidy99 @cbucksrules Why would the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the DSM https://t.co/cmX9p9hd6H, have diagnostic criteria for the diagnosis of gender dysphoria as a mental disorder, if it wasn't a mental illness. Just because you don't like the truth, doesn't make it a lie.
@becca_begotten @MrCassidy99 @cbucksrules Right, sorry you don't comprehend what happened here. "Transgender" is no longer a mental disorder, I agree that is what this says. However, look up "gender dysphoria" in the DSM and you will see that it is a mental disorder, per https://t.co/D1lA4QKTL7. https://t.co/jAKiVKHyF6
