So that takes no account of brain plasticity then?!

Based on the responses to 10 questions. No account of age, socio-economic background, nurture etc. Dean Burnett was just on Sky rubbishing it.

I ahve just ordered a Dean Burnett book, having looked him up on Twitter. Good man!

Thanks for the article btw, Smun.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the funding appears to have something to do with Autism Speaks

I am sooo shocked. :verm:

Dean Burnett on the study.

On another topic, I saw this article and thought it might be of interest: How history forgot the woman who defined autism

I read that recently, and had no idea beforehand how much she had done.

I've just started that one, Rebs.

His analogies to explain stuff are brilliant. And sometimes very funny.

I put my big girl pants on today and told my parents I'm (most probably) autistic. They've been great, and my mum is delighted at the idea I can help other people with my research.

Well done, Smunder. I'm glad they have been good eggs. Were they surprised?

Well done Smunder! I’m really glad it went well.

I think my dad was a bit surprised, but they seem happy that I've said that it answers a lot of questions for me. My mum says she's still blaming J for my mental health problems though :))

That's really ace, Smunder. Your lovely Mum.

Kenickie · Post by **Kenickie** » Tue Jan 01, 2019 10:05 am

I'm glad telling them went well and your mum is lovely.

She is when she wants to be :)) I think I was mostly afraid of it being dismissed, but they were very willing to listen, which is great.

I've not read the whole thread, but Bats, you lovely creature. I had figured *something* had occurred, but also knew that you were entitled to your privacy and didn't want to pry. I'll give you a manly pat on the shoulder should I see you at some point.

If someone is middle aged and thinks they probably have ADHD, what are the arguments for/benefits of getting a diagnosis as an adult?
