What about ASD can't U find online that yr desperate 2 know?

Post Reply New Topic

Is there anything about ASD that you're desperate to know but can't find online? I'm curious about what others here are seeking info on but can't find.

For instance, I couldn't find much on whether or not an autistic preschool boy could get misdiagnosed with something else. I found one good article on this, just one. He could get misdiagnosed with ADHD or SPD.

There's other things I've googled but can't find formal information.

I'd like to find out more information on diagnosed people who are very ashamed and embarrassed of their autism and spend their whole lives hating themselves for having autism. All I find is information for parents of newly diagnosed children.

Also I'd like to read up more about lives of already diagnosed teenage girls with autism and how they cope with school - but UK information, not American. But it just comes up with information on how to notice signs of autism in teenagers or how to get a teenager diagnosed. I just want to compare my teenage life to how other autistic teens managed through secondary school.

There's so much information on adults getting diagnosed and all that, like it seems more common to go through childhood without knowing you have autism unless you're severe, and I feel like the only girl with only mild ASD who got a diagnosis in childhood.

ADHD and SPD are often co-morbid with ASD, so it doesn't need to be a misdiagnosis. Surely you've been able to find that much out online.

If you are concerned, you can always check the DSM or ICD (or both) rather than play Dr. Google.

Except my own previous posts from this very forum and a random thread from reddit because of a well placed order of words.

What is the basis of 'subtle sensitivities' related to autism.

A few scenarios that matches mine;
autistics that do not startle easy, autistics who don't believe autism means being a social loser, autistics who cannot afford routines, autistics who lived without psych meds...
And a few more I cannot enumerate.

Varying questions about autistic hyperlexia, but without high verbal IQ and precocious reading.

I would like to find statistics on the number of people on the autistic spectrum who were misdiagnosed before the mid-1990s with ADD/ADHD, Mental Retardation, Schizophrenia, or just plain old laziness.

I'd like to know more about the experiences of autistic single parents. (Not to be confused with "autism parents").

Well of course he could get misdiagnosed; people get misdiagnosed all the time. What are you looking for in particular? Misdiagnosis rates or things he could get misdiagnosed with?

I want to know how to convince my son to try new foods and that the baby isn't so bad.

I don't say I'm exactly desperate for this, having survived without it for my entire life, but it would be great if there was an online list of (free of charge) tele-counsellors (operating via email) offering an intelligent dialogue about the Aspie traits I have that give me problems, with a view to finding better coping strategies.

Why does it seem that Aspies seem to have all manner health issues .
Seems oddly enough that some Aspies have often common diagnoses of other health issues ??
