Therefore, the diagnosis is not given because someone hallucinates but because the thing that is being hallucinated and communicated as such by the person is seen as an inacceptable manifestation of the process itself. The arbitrator on schizophrenia can only rest on ad hoc statements. Strictly speaking, statements that cannot be proven as correct or false.
>autism (and by extension ADHD)a vastly inflated diagnosis that is poorly defined and given to children simply because of a therapeutic/school system gone wrong that now uses the bodies of children as tools to generate money.

The market on autism treatments is expected to make 5 billion revenue this year.
