Autism and intellectual disability sucks. I don't want to be autistic and intellectual disability and tourettes and adhd and auditory processing and language disability. I repeat things and script things and is hard for me. Masking is so hard for me.
Thank you so much!!!!!! Again, im currently in Diagnosis & Treatment course. We are flying thru the DSM5 TR. but your videos help alot! Bc i grasp the concept of the disorder
You're amazing!! Isn't Kanye West diagnosed Bipolar though? The one in a billion Marilyn Monroe was also diagnosed Bipolar. Is it an occurrance Bipolar is mistaken for HPD? ✨
Can a person feel normal with no hypomania for a week or so and go into a depressed episodes that may last 2 weeks over and over along with accompanying anxiety
My son was recently diagnosed with schizophreniform Disorder and he is on medication and it seems to be Controlling his symptoms.... Is the time period after six months of being on medication + being asymptomatic....will he fall into the 1/3. Or....If he's been on the medication for six plus months and symptomatic, Then will the diagnosis be schizophrenia?
2:03 This sounds just like me (five criteria met), but being diagnosed with autism, I guess it’s not this. Could you explain why autism can’t be comorbid with this?
Can you elaborate on the within two week period? Was that a prodromal period, period of escalation, or does that mean within two weeks of the acute stressful event?
We don't stop doing it however old we get, we just learn shame, and we get better at not getting QUITE so deeply immersed in our trance state fantasies while others are present. People sometimes catch sight of me doing the movements but much more rarely, only because when I know others are around, my brain now doesn't enter the trance state quite as deeply. I can be lost in fantasy around others, even while conversing and probably just looking very distracted, thanks to dual awareness, but not so deep that the movements happen. This is a really weird name for maladaptive daydreaming, by the way, but hey, at least most of us are technically in the DSM. It would just be nice if the far more important symptoms we actually care about could also get a mention, so we could be diagnosed and informed we aren't the only ones and get some evidence-based treatment. I didn't tell anyone what I was doing internally, I knew it was weird. I needed a doctor to ASK if fantasy is what I was doing in there, so I would have known it was something familiar to them and felt less shame. They don't because the diagnostic manuals and training ignore the data. Very few doctors even after all these years have any idea that stereotypic movements occur during immersive daydreaming and that immersive daydreaming can become maladaptive. It is as if the DSM panel and broader establishment is too embarrassed that they missed something so important in so many patients diagnosed with other things, to ever talk about it. I want all doctors informed so they can act on the finding that 20% of the ADHD-PI diagnoses they make are of maladaptive daydreamers. Meaning it is NOT RARE nor benign in clinical practice, the dysfunction is just misattributed to other conditions. So what if strangers sometimes see me making faces and vocalisations when we cross paths in the street? The DSM-5 is only talking about the single least important feature. I want to cuddle my niece without my mind stubbonly continuing to also direct a dumb comedy scene or alternative ending to my soap opera's last episode, taking me out of every rewarding moment of reality. Likewise I want to stop frequently being anxious and stressed when boring yet draining reality takes me out of the fantasy sandbox between my ears. I want to inhabit my body most hours of the day, and live through it as my avatar, instead of only feeling alive through characters in a dreamscape. I want to feel solid and like my real life and real body matter, I want my sense of self to come from reality instead of vicariously playing with senses of self and feelings of validation through my fictional characters. I don't want to abandon myself like this anymore, and I don't want us to keep getting our sense that our real lives don't matter, mirrored back by the psychiatric establishment's unresponsiveness.
Hi,, I am bit confused as you said in mild ID they need assistance in personal care and you also said they also do best in jobs that are not cognitive based how can they be best at jobs when they need assistance in their personal care ? Plz clarify that I would be highly thankful to you
If you have needs but don't get that assistance and are just left to struggle on your own, does that mean you are not as autistic as you would be if you had help?
Ma'am why you stop making videos on America's History... Please restart that series...We want to know more about USA especially after 1960s...please carry on that series...
Wow! I can’t believe I came across this video. I had the exact same experience! I was constantly sick and they told me that it was IBS and it was all in my head. It turned out that was the levothyroxine, and I have celiac.
I've been spitting up food and re-chewing it for a very long time, sometimes I spit it out to look at it also. I still do this now and find a soothing effect from it. I'm a young person and I'm not sure how to explain this to anybody without sounding gross.
I'm 22. For about 5 years+ Everytime i eat something, i already expect the food to come back in about 20 to 40 minutes. Sometimes it's only a little, sometimes a lot. I used to try and eat it again, but i'm already sick of chewing it all again so i spit it out instead. It's not voluntary at all and it feels almost like a Hiccup. I don't know what i can do, or even if I have this "Rumination Disorder". It's just really frustrating eating food with your family or partner and having to make a straight face as you rechew the food you ate a few minutes ago, not to mention the mouth odor afterwards.
USA is state of Immigrants and it sponsers Israel on same anology but at the behest of decimating aborigions and indigenous nations .Wow ,it is the highest standard of hypocrisy and double standard
I'm pretty sure I got this, I bang my head when Im sitting and rock my body side to side when I'm laying down. I can do it hours at a time and has been doing it my whole life.
I occasionally get a headache from banging my head, and I can restrain myself if it begins to hurt. So I must have a mild version. Also I am already an adult and don't have any neurological disorders
Are you creating fictional scenes or storylines when you do this? If so, it is immersive daydreaming, and it becomes maladaptive if you do it so much that it causes dysfunction or distress due to unsatisfying split attention between fantasy and other experiences that you want to be present for.
@@compulsiverambler1352 I do daydream a lot 😅 but I only do the repetitive movements when I’m in a scenario that I don’t have to be very present. Like when I’m just sitting on a rocking chair, laying down on my bed trying to sleep, or during a long car drive. The only exception is when I’m driving, I still do the repetitive head banging but I don’t daydream much. The head banging also hasn’t caused any problems when I’m driving (I drive a lot) So I’m pretty sure it’s safe
