Wokeism of the day *Revised Mod Note in OP and threadbanned users*

I'd say it's about fitting in with current social fashions. Common among those in the public eye by choice. Adult autism spectrum stuff is in vogue at the moment. Pain in the arse for those actually on the spectrum of course. As for it being difficult to diagnose in adults I would suggest that in many cases the reason it's difficult to diagnose is because it's not present, even with the widening of the spectrum criteria and the speed which some jump to diagnose it. And I include professionals in that too. The if all you have is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail symdrome. Do you think you've a broken leg? Nah, I don't think so. Did you ever have pain in your leg? Oh yeah, once when I fell off a wall at the age of 10. Hmmmm... Did you ever limp? Well once after a night on the beer I slept badly and limped a bit the next day. Oh and there was that time I stood on a lego brick. Jaysus I limped then. Are you in the public eye or generally looking for attention? I am and there's a possible book deal in the offing. Well then, it seems you don't have a broken leg, but you're definitely on the broken leg spectrum. G'way to fúck. 😂

An editor who knows it'll get clicks and reads and with newspapers struggling that's all that matters. Hell, we've read it, or at least clicked on it and we're not exactly the target audience. 😁 Articles like that get more clicks than dry factual stuff on financial improprieties in big business and the like. Just like on the BBC the blokeish Top Gear got way more bums on seats than Newsnight. Bloke version that sells would be about cars and engineering, explosions and tits, with a whinge about the good old days. Chick version would be about pampering, crystal woo, relationships and generally having a whinge about everything. Both sell like organic ethically sourced fair trade hot cakes(but not too hot).
