When did the definition of autism change? When my brother was diagnosed, it meant, "can't think in words".?

Update:

This was 45 years ago.

    You may have thought it meant that. It never did.

    That may be how they explained it to you, but I guarantee you that was NOT the "official" definition/diagnostic criterion.
