I think that someone with "mild NVLD" could be more in need of disability pension than someone with "high-functioning" ASD.

I would say that NVLD is a serious and complex developmental disability. Especially when there are traits of other disorders present in a person with NVLD.

ASD without NVLD impairs mostly "soft skills" while NVLD (even without meeting ASD criteria present in the DSM-V classification) impairs both "hard skills" and "soft skills". A person with ASD can be highly technical while NVLD impairs technical skills. People with NVLD have dysharmony between significantly better verbal skills (like memory for facts and spelling) and significantly worse visual-spatial skills (like visual imagination and precise visual memory). Someone with ASD can have balanced IQ profile or dominance of visual-spatial skills over verbal skills.

I would say that verbal skills are more useful academically than occupationally and performance skills are more useful occupationally than academically.

I would be interested in relationships between ASD, NVLD, ADHD and FGR (fetal growth restriction), LBW (low birth weight) and PTB (pre-term birth).

I was 29 years old when I joined WP back in 2004.

I think that rituals and routines (might appear to) overlap with OCD or OCPD, stims (might appear to) overlap with hyperactivity symptoms of ADHD and sensory issues (might appear to) overlap with sensory processing disorder or even some ankiety disorders.

I think that DSM-IV or ICD-10 criteria for Asperger syndrome or PDD-NOS were better than DSM-V criteria for autism spectrum disorder.

I think that "genuinely high-functioning" people with autism spectrum disorder rather do not have NVLD.

I have thoughts that much more people should have disability pension, for example due to neurodevelopmental disorders or (and) mental disorders.

I want swimming! I want swimming!

The word "girl" is associated in "my mind" mostly with my sister despite the fact that she is a young adult now.

I might think that cats exist for being looked on by people and for being caressed by people.

I do not have hallucinations.

I remember when gel toothpaste was a big deal

I suppose that many cases of autism and pervasive developmental disorder can not meet DSM-V criteria of autism spectrum disorder.

I've not had pate for years

i seem to remember it being quite a culinary highlight during the 1980s

I've got a bloody joiner coming at some point this morning

Hopefully sooner rather than later
I hate waiting in for people

I like to practice active listening I do

I think people know when you're listening properly and when you're not and it makes a massive difference in the way people connect with you when they know you're listening properly

I can think of very little else I'd like to watch less that The Traitors

I just don't see the entertainment value in it

I'd love a billion quid me

I'm going into my 7th week without coffee or energy drinks.
