Re: autism spectrum

The guy who diagnosed my son with Aspergers .. said at end of a session with the father ... that the parents were likely to be autistic ... I had already self diagnosed that for me ... 20 years ago .. in a teacher college library.

That pdoc dude .. also said the diagnosis for my son .. was a political diagnosis ... now what the heck does that mean?

Re: autism spectrum

Exactly @Appleblossom what on earth could that mean. It sounds like a bit of a snide remark to me. I'd be looking for a second opinion. 🎶

Re: autism spectrum

I've been officially diagnosed with ASD (that part of the spectrum of which used to be known as Aspergers or more fully Asperger Syndrome).

Re: autism spectrum

More probably he doesn't either believe in the validity of ASD itself or that it is being arbitrarily given as a diagnosis. The latter can be said of any diagnosis, for misdiagnosis is just as rife in psychology as it is in medicine.
