Over the years, the medical field has played musical chairs with autism diagnoses—changing names, shifting criteria, and even folding Asperger’s into the broader spectrum. Sounds tidy on paper, but in real life? Not so much. As a mom of two kids on the spectrum, I talk about what those changes have looked like from the parent side, how confusing (and sometimes harmful) misdiagnoses can be, and why those shifting labels don’t always tell the whole story. I also in true Zada form tell the "Google Docs to get bent".
