    Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental condition involving persistent challenges with social communication, restricted interests, and repetitive behaviour.
    #autismspectrumdisorder #autism #asperger's #theoryofmind
    While autism is considered a lifelong disorder, the degree of impairment in functioning because of these challenges varies between individuals with autism.
    Autism spectrum disorder begins in early childhood and eventually causes problems functioning in society - socially, in school and at work, for example. Often children show symptoms of autism within the first year.
    The DSM-5 divides symptoms of ASD into two categories:
    Problems with communication and social interaction
    Restricted or repetitive patterns of behaviour or activities
    To be diagnosed with autism, a person must experience symptoms in both of these categories.
    Diagnosis:
    Specialist assessment
    Autism Diagnostic Interview
    Autism Diagnostic Observation SChedule
    Management :
    Psychological and Behavioural Treatments
    Medications - Antipsychotics / mood stabilisers / lithium / naltrexone / NAC / Riluzole etc

    About the gender divide: maybe the gap is far smaller than assumed. Different social expectations of females may make them mask more for instance. This hinders identification and diagnosis. As a 53 year old female, I've recently started suspecting that I may be on the spectrum. And maybe my poor mother was as well. We just flew under the radar because we present differently and masked heavily.

    my parents are obviously asd adhd overlapping. terrible irritability, anxiety, sensitiveness, problematic social skills and close to zero empathy capabilities.
    IMO certain parts of Israel have an asd adhd epidemic. places in which the non-asd/non-adhd is the outlier. very difficult places. i would say that what hell is probably like.

    Hello from New York, USA. This presentation was very interesting and informative, plus the speaker is clearly knowledgeable and passionate about the topic.
    My only difficulty was the font size of the slides - even on max quality, I was unable to read a majority of the text presented.
    Font size 14 - 20 would have been ideal. Thank you for taking the time to present this topic.

  • @Zarathustran
    @Zarathustran Před rokem +1

    13:24 Enjoyed your lecture. Noticed the slide at 13 minutes mentions antipsychotics. Not an MD here. Aware there is a pretty well-established practice of prescribing antipsychotics off-label as long-term sleep aids, adjunctively with antidepressants, and in dementia (at least in the US). Aren’t antipsychotics life-threateningly contraindicated in acute catatonia? Since the phenomenon of so-called “autistic burnout“ is autistic catatonia this seems unwise, at least in adults (aware you may have been indicating pediatric population).
    I’ve previously taken Seroquel for sleep and Abilify was added for several years to Effexor XR and gave me no problem. However, as I did well enough academically that my ASD diagnosis could be concealed from me, it was. Not real sure why they call the intellectual part giftedness either when it comes with strings like that. It is apparently not widely-known that adult autistic catatonia can become a long slow burn (which it’s evidently been doing since the beginning of time) that eventually triggers regression (see Friedrich Nietzsche) and gets called “early-onset dementia”. Lorazepam challenge, anyone? Certainly antipsychotics just keep those patients declining and confirm the misdiagnosis of dementia.
    I’d been in a gradual but vague decline caused by family stress for the better part of 10 years that removing myself should’ve begun improving at some point in the last six when I realized I’ve had anxiety as long as I can remember and wondered why I or anyone else thought it was depression. So with some investigation I figured out my alexithymia Asperger’s and catatonia, got it diagnostically confirmed, and I’m finally getting the right treatment at 53. So what I learned that I think would be useful to others is that I’m pretty sure Diogenes syndrome isn’t hoarding for High IQ schizophrenics but loss of executive function (regression) in autistic catatonia.
    There are psychological reasons we have difficulty asking for help and are prone to self-neglect (which there’s no point in even trying to self-advocate for while pretending autism can’t be caused by neglectful and abusive mothering….so I really appreciated you mentioning environmental deprivation). I also need to point out though that wariness of committing to another provider, regimen, or misdiagnosis isn’t pathology but rational resignation in a situation where the correct and helpful ASD diagnosis wouldn’t be forthcoming anyway-and if it were it might bring an early dementia misdiagnosis with it.
    Can a person with a developmental delay even get dementia? I rather doubt it unless they can live the span of two or three lifetimes. I don’t know who came up with that but this is a fear response to the loss of social support in people who don’t know we’re autistic. Maybe deficient theory of mind works both ways inasmuch as a person who doesn’t even know he has that can also expect others to be objective and insightful about advanced topics. Easy enough mistake to make with the awareness that psychiatry is not even my autistic special interest (or at least it wasn’t one of them until it pretty clearly needed to become one). Probably special interests are perseverations that soothe anxiety under regressive stress very much like compulsions would under neurotic stress. Not real sure, but pretty obvious echolalia is perseveration of failure to flatter the mother (or whoever failed as a primary attachment figure) into “mirroring”. Autistic ego postponement even makes evolutionary sense If you consider how adaptive naïveté about negligent pseudocare can be to surviving it long enough to escape and raise oneself.😐 Just is what it is

      Thanks for the comment. It came up during research - seems like initially he said he had it and then said he didn't? Thanks for pointing it out though. Appreciate it. Found this article “ During a recent interview with NBC's Brian Williams, funnyman Jerry Seinfeld made a comment about possibly being on the autism spectrum. But while his words were mere speculation, many on social media took him to task for what they considered a serious case of "self-diagnosis."Now he wants to set the record straight.“I don't have autism," Seinfeld told "Access Hollywood." "I'm not on the spectrum”

    Please can you also make a video specifically for high functioning autism that enables them to do amazing things at the expense of having difficulties with communication and behaviour- so in terms of treatment and management it will be helpful to know what the studies indicate. And the debate of ‘celebrating differences of Neuro divergent people’ is there as well, thanks

    I will say it again as always have, the food we are eating has to be at play. Food is something everyone has to have to survive. Foods have been bioengineered, have chemicals added and so on. There has been over 100% increase and what else has changed so much that affects everyone...food. I believe there is also a strong correlation to autism to LGBT. I also believe the foods we are consuming are affecting parts of the brains significantly.

      It’s a good question. While they talk about central sensitivity syndromes - this doesn’t seem to be the same as central sensitisation in pain. Multiple theories of SPD are put forward - attention dysregulation, Somatosensory cortex firing etc .

    Hi , I’m autistic.
    Some corrections needed
    First mistake, not iniciated at age “x” or “y” but from conception as it is encoded in dna, yes in many parts of it as it is a neurotype
    Second, the asperger thing is NOT anymore a thing as no longer included in official manuals but more importantly the modern society is not taking his investigation results as being conducted on eugenism perspective and from an historic point of view he was not even the first nor the most relevant investigator, I’d call it Sukhareva Brain type or Sukhareva Mind
    Third, the rate men & women is one to one and again it does not develops, it is life long or neuro-type 😉
    😶all about the “risk” or having more in the family, seriusly a risk?, and that “retard” thing better keep it for your self dude
    Please don’t, saying Individuals with autism..... not a disease, just please get it, only say autists or autistics and don’t think of it as an insult cause we can read that on your tone
    Those big or small differences on neurochemistry and even anatomical are from that of neurodiversity but there is one big issue with that interpretation as for the main reason for the big differences, we as trauma survivors have a lot in common with ptsd and c-ptsd brains (the very fact of try to survive in a hostile environment literally being bullied by every social aspect of life it self qualifies as complex trauma and the s### starts from about toddler Age)... being the survival reptilian mode with either one of the fight flight freeze fawn -perpetual- states and its heavy neuro artillery and a specially active stress response keeps growing stronger that very part of our minds and it obviously will be detected on brainscans and other non brainones, our whole anatomy issues may be derived from that life mode
    Sorry to leave it here, no time
    Hope leave you the idea that even though a lot of us live as Disabled, and need help and support, we don’t accept to be treated as if retarded or disordered or even as diseased as our brains are perfectly capable of every job, task or profession if let undisturbed, it is from social disabling as few things are autie-friendly in our home cities or facilities
    ... hope someone listen to us autists speaking for ourselves better than repeating from manuals with out even the minimal effort for speaking a personal appreciation for those “symptoms”, with 1 in less than 60 I am absolutely sure you know autists en your inner circle, even at job
    If answering to this
    Please keep tone low
    cheers

    At 1:56 you misinterpret the facts: Boys are four times more likely than girls to be diagnosed, but current research suggests that it is caused by the diagnostic procedure, which is still focused on boys and may miss the different way ASD shows in girls (see "Girls and Boys on Autism Spectrum Tell Stories Differently, Could Explain “Missed Diagnosis” in Girls"). The evolving and likely still incorrect criteria mean the majority of autistic adults is undiagnosed. What you call problems with communication is much better explained as communication incompatibility (see "Double empathy, explained"). Neurodiversity is real, as you show very well by the biological differences, and neurotypical people tend to label atypical as a problem, which leads to a number of misinterpretations as can be seen in the evolution of the diagnostic criteria. While you enumerate a few symptoms, you miss different (weaker or stronger) sensory processing as generic difference, and that may concern all senses. Your differentiation between ASD and frequent co-occuring conditions is well done, because both are often confused. Therapy really addresses those co-occuring conditions, but not ASD itself. What's entirely missing is the significant correlation between ASD and queer (see "Autistic individuals are more likely to be LGBTQ+"). And I absolutely miss explaining why it is called a spectrum: The variance is huge, much larger than many can imagine.
