Just wondering if anyone on LfW has any experience of either of the above diagnostically/ clinically they might feel willing to share. If so, please message me privately. [Post edited 4 Oct 6:46]

i did wonder Stainrod...
Yes have worked in a very old school home for men with severe autism diagnoses.
And in other roles, have met many with both diagnoses. They are both difficult conditions to live with, certainly... |  |

Not quite sure what you're 'wondering' (as you don't say), but I'll leave that to you.
Life is difficult for most of us, I guess - unless you're a shallow or well-defended type that life slides off.
* To repeat, please could anyone else PM me as requested, as this isn't intended as a general discussion thread. Many thanks.* | |

Jesus Christ - where does anyone start? The presumption (about what the context even is), the malice, the superiority, or the contempt? (I'll overlook the terrible grammar that also leaves one non-plussed.)
I was actually asking for a student relative, but you win the prize for surely the most egregiously offensive response (and this despite my carefully calibrated request for PMs only) of the decade on the forum.
As it turns out, I hope you get the help you need, ironically, for your unutterably crass shaming of the neurodivergent everywhere. (Contrition? To whom/for what? Give me a f*cking break!)
It's you should come with a toxic health warning! [Post edited 4 Oct 8:11]

Keeping it strictly general, Numpty I know you have that experience (I've got similar) but there are ways to look at neurodivergence these days that don't have to be so medicalised or disease based, e.g. how the social model of disability relates to autism.
I think a lot of the time people focus on co-occurring conditions and see that combination as autism - when really it was mostly about the person they're thinking of also being moderate LD, or having a behavioural disorder etc etc.
There are undoubtedly people on this board who are neurodivergent (often not even diagnosed because it was never necessary for them, or never came up) who we'd all consider to be basically 'normal' once you take away the QPR-supporter diagnosis.
Really not meant as an argument or to condescend, just putting it out there. |  | | |

Am aware of the range brooklyn and yes from highly intelligent people with aspergers and those where its a developmental learning where people cannot really process basic tasks beyond toddler stage and yes very aware there can be many different types of conditions beyond this where, there are a lot of overlaps.
The brain is incredibly complex.
Yes am aware as have my own diagnosis and know of people with adhd also. All can be difficult to live with but people can still live decent normal lives most definitely
And agree supporting QPR should come with a public health warning
Stainrod - i sent you a pm, with what you are asking. And hope you get the information you are looking for. Good luck. Tried to help you with your request but i cant be on the end of such abuse when was attempting to help. [Post edited 4 Oct 8:47]

I'm actually actively doing research in ADHD, the informal / formal DSM diagnostic criteria etc. The more I learn about it the more interesting it is a diagnostic category. There is definitely an unfortunate historical hangover that clouds popular (and clinical) understanding about what is going on with this type of neurodivergence. The other thing is that once you start looking you see it absolutely everywhere |  | | |

I think I'm on the spectrum... never looked into it just cos life.
But people around me think I'm possible adult adhd.
No idea personally... all I know is life has always been an uphill battle, but it is for everyone right?
I cannot focus for the life of me and my relationships have always been like yo yos |  | | |

I have ADHD.
My partner of 20 years has Autism and ADHD.
My 8 year old son has Autism
Both my partner and son have a specific type of Autism called PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) which in turn is a Nervous System disability. They are quite often in a high state of anxiety which continually puts them in Flight or Fight mode. Lots of strategies in place to keep them both regulated. It's a tough gig.
My 5 year old daughter is currently being assessed for Autism also.
Family life definitely wasn't what I thought it would be. There is never a middle ground. The highs are great but can come with massive lows at the flip of a switch.
I could write for hours on it but don't have the energy.
Brains wired differently for a system that is broken for Neurodivergnt people.
When they hyperfocus on a subject, the skies the limit for them.
Love them with everything I have.
Most of the highly intelligent people of our history were no doubt on the spectrum. [Post edited 4 Oct 20:51]

My wife and I both work around people with these conditions and the one thing I have learned is at times we all display 'traits'.
Whilest I am sure we have learned much about these condition, I still think there is an awful lot more to still learn. Sharing and exchanging information can only be a good thing, respects to those offering their experience.
@Elbow, I'm not sure what numpty has contributed, that's because I have him on ignore. for me at least I decided his droning on, spamming and moral authority was detracting from using the site ;-] | |

I've worked over here in Aus. for about ten years now in the Disability industry, Autism being a big part of the clients I've worked with over the years, and still work on a weekly basis with one lad, who not only is Autistic, but has a intellectual disability as well. I don't come on the forum daily, but every now and again. If you have any questions please feel free to PM me, and I will happily answer where possible :) |  | | |
