Re: autism spectrum disorders. I just wanted to remind people that, in many lower income countries, kids are simply not diagnosed. Partly because of the standards of health systems but also because many other cultures interpret neurodivergence differently. Often it's simply not pathologized.

I taught for 18 years in Vietnam and none of my autistic students had formal diagnoses.
