My doctor finally has "autism" in my medical records, but also used a term I've heard before, but which I now can't remember.

It starts with "dis..." or "dys..."

I know I've heard it before in connection with people on the spectrum, but can't remember the word now.

Help?

dyslexic, dyspraxia, are commonly associated with autism.

And there is dyscalculia, and dysphoria ( that word usually comes after the word "gender").
