No, by definition they can't. They cannot prove what causes autism spectrum disorders, and there is no test for it. It
is by very definition the presentation of the symptoms. There are many on the spectrum who can certainly function in day-to-day life just fine, and who would not be considered in any way disabled, but they still have certain classifiable symptoms, or they are not on the spectrum.
It's not about one experience versus another. You wrote an incorrect statement regarding the neurological definition and scope of encephalopathy. It wouldn't matter if you were an ASD parent, a special ed IA, or an actual degreed neurologist, your statement would still be factually wrong.
