My doctor finally has "autism" in my medical records, but also used a term I've heard before, but which I now can't remember.

It starts with "dis..." or "dys..."

I know I've heard it before in connection with people on the spectrum, but can't remember the word now.

Help?

What would these results mean? Been told here I must be a "half pint".

dyslexic, dyspraxia, are commonly associated with autism.

And there is dyscalculia, and dysphoria ( that word usually comes after the word "gender").
