Perhaps. I am not an expert. It was an example of a problem where the diagnosis depends more on the social context than on the biological context.

My wife is a family systems therapist and she told me once of a case, where one group of therapist had a child diagnosed with autism and another group found that the parents were the problem and that the child was only behaving in a certain way as a reaction to the parents' behavior. They had a meeting on the topic and after re-evaluation they decided that the child was not autistic after all.

I understand that singular cases do happen, it's just a fairly irresponsible framing to use as an example imo.
