And it’s shit like this that gets autistic women misdiagnosed with things like BPD.

Complex PTSD isn’t in the DSM yet and based on my opinion based on my time as a therapist, a lot of things in the DSM are actually CPTSD.

It was written for white people by white people. It's missing so many layers and ongoing research for BIPOC folks..

My therapist once said, "the DSM is like the Bible-there's sometimes useful and
interesting stuff in there, but it's frequently over-applied and taken far too literally" (or something to that effect.

My issue with the DSM-V is merging Aspergers with Autism. Change the name of Aspergers, fine. But merging them was wrong.

As soon as I studied the DSM-5 I switched my major from psych to sociology. It makes way more sense to understand the social structures and how they affect people.

I hate that the DSM basically says you can’t diagnosis if there is a better explanation. Sure I can. It’s a co-morbidity.

What is reactive attachment disorder? Is that a pediatric diagnosis?

As someone with a psych degree and loves psych, the concept of the DSM kinda pisses me off sometimes

Autistic kids are more likely to have trauma actually!

makes me wonder if the ICD has a similar history or if it's better

Wait till you learn that the research was done on men and not women to identify the way we present on the spectrum

diagnose the patient with whichever diagnosis will help them the most in life. my guess is autism because of the potential for funding, services, and accommodations in schools and workplaces

I think the ASD diagnostic criteria are absolute bullshit. Tell me why I have a kid who made it to his teenage years without a single parent, teacher, or IEP team ever suspecting autism, then suddenly gets diagnosed after Dad seeks an evaluation during a contentious custody case and unilaterally chooses a provider who is a BCBA. This is a kid with a longstanding intellectual disability, very low IQ, no sensory issues or stimming, good eye contact, full conversations, and who initiates socially in situations where he’s comfortable. At what point are characteristics of intellectual disability just being relabeled as autism?

also saying you can't be trans while being on the spectrum, they will consider it a mental health issue.

You couldn’t be diagnosed with ADHD and ASD simultaneously until after 2013… 😳

Not to mention that it doesn’t take into consideration other cultures or ways of being. They’ve literally found people with schizophrenia do better in India and more collectivist cultures because people keep them actively involved in their communities and don’t ostracize them. It even leads to more med compliance.

The DSM-5 is mostly at this point only useful for health insurance coding. 😅

PTSD in children looks a lot like ADHD. When I worked in advocacy for children I would get so many kids dx ADHD. Worked on the trauma and boom. No more ADHD sx. That’s not to say you can’t have BOTH ptsd and adhd, but I truly think that’s why adhd is so over diagnosed in kids

And… Postpartum can only happen up to one year?😂 I had postpartum up until my son was two years three months old. It is a massive hormonal disruption.

I fully believe that growing up neurodivergent will inherently cause trauma unless otherwise accommodated for. Being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world is fucking hard
