I'm still trying to wonder if Autism (and the many different types) is an actual nature type illness or if it's just a nurturing problem from the parents.

If a kid is majorly pissed off, Doctor may call it firstborn syndrome, antisocial personality disorder, oppositional defiant disorder or ADHD. But what do all those things have in common?

That they don't actually try to understand the environmental factors. Being that the parents bring him to the doctor rather than look at themselves, it would seem fair to me to conclude that there is a serious lack of empathy for the kid (primarily) on the part of the parents. It also pathologizes "negative" behavior, making the child out to have a fundamentally screwed up emotional apparatus, which if that's not the case is setting the child up for some seriously tragic problems with their own capacity for operating in the world as an emotional being, permanently! (unless they process it later in life)

 

Mental health is equated to conformity in cases like these, devoid of any real principles. Tragically, this is sure to continue that cycle.
