PDD NOS Nobody with other with this?

Post Reply New Topic

Both my boys have a diagnoses of both 'autism' and later' PDDNOS' much depends upon 'who' you pay to do the assessment.
In the States, PDD doesn't cut it . If you want 'services' you need a diagnoses of autism, or failing that a significant speech delay. This is the kind of environment that we exist in, grim.

I digged into your history machine and this is all I can find - but did not look in everything...

And my score change coz i honestly put a ? as I could not be bothered to look it up again....

"UK supremacy belief" Don't know where you get this from I said american army sucks...

Me and rdos ironed out the quiz thing if you read us talking...

I looked up my first post on my aspie quiz score and it turns out I was wrong it was 187 not 182(I was going by memory) So that just shows the test results were more
consistant than my memory.

Oh I deleted the all my earily post when I had a meltdown(pre-prozac or earily prozac I think).

Yes American army History not America it self.... I did not say America In General - I said the American Army sucks....

Well thanks for making that distinction.

PDD-NOS is a catch all for those with peer to peer relationship difficulties that don't meet all of the requirements for the other ASD.

This pretty much includes ever guy who can't get laid - I apologize for the coarseness of that statement.

While funny Technical a person could be dx with PDD_NOS and not have social
skills problems?(the biggest factor keeping a guy from getting laid is social skills weakness).

I think the odds of that are very low though.

I think it is safe to assume that anyone on the autism spectrum has had social impairments, even if no one, including that person, noticed.

I think that autism is simply extreme modes of normal human behaviors and thoughts. And I think that these modes are self reinforcing, and trap a person much like depression does.

When I was young, I remember rolling my head around. It was very soothing, and after a minute of doing it, I told myself that I better stop, or else I may not be able to. I eventually forgot about it until recently. There are many other behaviors and thoughts that fortunately didn't turn into something significant. Of, as I write this, I've got the Thumper leg going.

I do believe that impairments, social or otherwise, can be treated, assuming the individual wants to overcome the impairment. This is similar in idea to depression. A depressed person can't overcome depression unless they really want to. And, once happy, the brain structuring that disposed the individual to depression is still there. The person has simply learned to work around it.

That's my present theory.

Nice theory but the pathways to the cortex are damage or not fully developed unless you genticly manipulate the growth of new path's or to stimulate re growing the pathways will stay the way they are....

Unlike depression it's a mood thing or chimical imbalance which is why they give you drugs which most of the time do not work you will be on a mix of 3 - 4 dif types and having treatment for it...

Only a iron deficiency can be treated for cortex growth problem’s, which mainly only vegans are at risk of...

I also think they have not cured seasonal depression - anxiety... as i know my ant still gets seasonal anxiety/depression like clockwork...

Where did you find the damaged pathways. I didn't see it in the wikipedia for cause of autism.

While reading it, I would have to say that I'm of the "Social construct theory".

I don't think you can be 'cured' of depression. I think you just learn how not to get trapped in that mode of thinking.
I do agree with you on the drugs. I think that some do need the drugs, but in addition to other treatment.

For me, I look back see that putting an effort into learning manners, consideration of others, and more recently, emotion intelligences, overcoming depression, has had a positive impact. And I fully intend on continuing to improve. It may be that it's a luxury that I'm lucky to have.

Has there been any threads about the $945 million the US Senate appropriated last month for research into causes of autism? I did find anything with search.

You aren't the first to think this of him, nor will you be the last. It is also accompanied by linking to numerous websites in order to better educate you, as he seemingly views most other people as far less knowledgeable about...anything. Heaven forbid you post a link yourself, your link will be flawed. And don't try to explain yourself, you can't possibly be right.


Many people have mentioned the whole autism spectrum thing, but in case anyone reading doesn't get the full meaning (Not implying anyone who has posted doesn't, nor that other readers will be incapable, more of a "just in case" kind of thing) it is like the color spectrum. (ugh... having to use a loose analogy). A color can be anywhere on the spectrum, and it still expresses color-like traits. The nature of those traits (the wavelength of the light being the only trait of a color I can think of, or hue, saturation, and brightness if you want to do it in a computer-like way) differ, and that's how the color is defined. Even people with AS, or Autism, will differ on their "location" on the scale. No two people are exactly alike, nor will their expressions of traits be identical, though they might be quite similar. Their specific traits may even differ, though overall they could appear similar as well.

One of the issues I have with things such as the DSM (pick which version, that's not the point) and other methods of diagnosis is that there's a real goal of making a label. Sure, this will help with insurance, and give clues to potential treatment options, but even if you are almost (diagnosis), some might view you as entirely different from someone who is (diagnosis). That's not the case at all.

PDD-NOS simply means you don't meet the necessary criteria for some cut-off that was developed when writing the diagnostic manual. Focusing on the label isn't nearly as important as focusing on the traits themselves.

Yesterday, someone [elsewhere] used an analogy that I found helpful - the spectrum is like the radio wave read out on a graphic equalizer - you can see the LED peaks and troughs. Maybe that will be helpful to 'visual learners.'

Here it is shadow I know grammar but I can't be bothered to learn it why - coz writers screw up - I am not going to be a writer - and if you want to stick grammar in imagine it in or ye forgot people lack imagination in As… And like you the next person that knows more grammar will insult you on your grammar.

No, other one is you can not understand grammar no matter how much you try to teach someone that is why you are wrong & why specialists get you in front and test you..

Unlike you guys I do not need grammar in to automatically stop a sentence - take a breather, move on to the next subject.

Does this "-" confuse your brain?

EDIT: I got rid of most of my response because I know it was a waste, after some thought. Hindsight is 20/20....

logitechdog, you expect the rest of the world to accomodate you. That's not how things work. Few people, if anyone, can make sense of most of what you post. That's not because you're "better," its because you're lazy. (That, or you're trolling, I honestly don't care any more.) If you're too lazy to type your criticisms in a way that others can understand, why are you even wasting your time with criticisms? Others can't understand them, so they won't get anything out of them. If you're "contributing" something other than a criticism, why waste your time? Nobody's benefitting if your message isn't comprehended. Regardless of where the fault lies in your mind, you are wasting your time if you refuse to take the smallest amount of effort to type in the "standard" way, or at least sufficiently close structurally so others can understand it, though I'm sure you'll accuse me of being an NT for saying that, or something along those lines, in an attempt to discredit me in some way.

I have read them shadow, I don't take that information I learn and twist into my own words.

You know it's funny how rdos understands me and he is from sweden, not my fault if your brain can not process the other stuff.

/ This is me / That is You / Hear is your brain.

, This is me, That is You, Hear is your brain.

- This is me - That is You - Hear is your brain.

| This is me | That is You | Hear is your brain.

This is me = That is you = Hear is your brain.

This is me + That is you + hear is your brain.

: This is me : That is You : Hear is your brain.

' This is me ' That is You ' Hear is your brain.

If I don't use , do you not breathe when you have to?

shadow isn't my name, though I know you take pleasure in the fact that your error annoys me. If it is merely your attempt to be clever, in proving that only some of what people type is necessary to get meaning across, well, good for you. Have a chuckle. Unfortunately you don't even put in enough effort to get the meaning across many times.

You don't give a damn about the rules of grammar and spelling. So you're lazy. Great. I'm not of the opinion that my refusal to bend over backwards to accomodate you makes me somehow less mentally capable than you. It isn't worth my time to carefully go through your posts to make sure I understand, as you refuse to use punctuation, at times toss words around, and at times use the wrong form of a word. What's worse, you insult people for not being able to do the work you didn't feel like doing. Yes, I can breathe if you leave out half of your post. I can breathe if you don't post at all. Get over yourself.

Either 1. You are doing this intentionally as a sad way to irritate people, or 2. You're simply lazy, and expect the rest of the world to pick up your slack.

And as for why rdos may be able to understand you, you probably can't think of why. I'll act like you on this occasion and hold that over your head, as I have a theory for it that makes pretty good sense thus far. Its nothing against rdos, in fact it is almost a benefit from not (as far as I know) being a native English speaker. Well, benefit if the individual that has it gives a damn about postings by logitechdog.
