... that in the book The Autistic Brain, author Temple Grandin suggests that the rise in autism diagnoses has been due to an inaccurate definition in the DSM-5 grouping other conditions under the term? Source 1: "Grandin also complains about the danger of labels. We learn how the autism diagnosis has dandled through the different versions of the DSM, so that one individual labelled as Asperger in 1980 will be labelled in the autistic spectrum today." International Journal of Educational Psychology, and Source 2: "In one fascinating digression, the authors suggest that an error in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders might have been responsible for the sharp rise in diagnoses: An “or” that should have been an “and” might have led thousands of doctors to misapply the label." Smithsonian Magazine
Overall: Nominated within a day of creation and the length is adequate. The Hook is cited and interesting. The article is sourced for the most part and neutrally worded, no copyright issues were found. No major issues were found except the line about alternative subtitles appears to be unsourced. I'll approve this nomination assuming it's accurate but please add an inline citation for it as it appears to have no mention in the body either. Good work on the article in general.
