Wow, they got caught and prosecuted and everything! What a scary epidemic of fake diagnoses.


Who said it was scary? I just said there's been a spike in diagnoses.

It did cost taxpayers millions of dollars, and I assume that only a fraction of that will ever be repaid by the perpetrators.


Billions of dollars!


The autism part was only millions, I believe.
