"A gene that influences both the empathy people show towards others and their own responses to stress has been identified"

Here in USA, diagnosis is #Voodoo #Subjective and they do not do genetic tests for #HyperEmpathy

It’s official, y’all!!!!!…. And it’s so fitting that it’s Autism Acceptance Month!… Yesterday I received my official Autism diagnosis and went over the results and some recommendations with the doctor!!!

I knew for a long time I’ve always been different and autism seemed to explain it best; it’s not all in my head. But now I have official documentation and affirming support. 🥳

Yes, a child psychologist can diagnose autism through comprehensive evaluations, including behavioral observations, developmental history, and standardized testing.

They work closely with parents and specialists to ensure an accurate diagnosis and create a personalized support plan.

Early intervention is key. #childpsychology #autismdiagnosis #earlyintervention #autismawareness

"Specialization tends to limit the field of problems that the specialist is concerned with. Now, the person who isn’t a specialist, but a generalist like myself, sees something over here that he has learned from one specialist, something over there that he has learned from another specialist—and neither of them has considered the problem of why this occurs here and also there. So the generalist—and that’s a derogatory term, by the way, for academics—gets into a range of other problems that are more genuinely human, you might say, than specifically cultural." - Age 83

=============

I witness very few in autism discussions and autism topics who bring up environmental influence, experience influenced. And being a specialist in a field has a huge influence on languages / jargon / etc.

People may not have major problems of autism depending on the lifestyle and demands they are placed under. This topic gets into genetic diagnosis vs. subjective diagnostics in adults.
