The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Autism is cool. It is the severe co-morbid conditions that need help or healing.
In DSM5-speak, I am an ASD1 father of NTs(?), other ASD1s, an ASD2 and an ASD3.
I was only talking about the MMR vaccine-autism link claim, which has nothing to do with allergies.
I am not that bad but have made up words a few times. Once I asked my aunt if her late husband was an "explorative" eater. I knew explorative is not a word but could not think of the word adventurous. When I was shoppintg for a living room chair and bed mattress, I called them "cushy" as in cushion.
See PM.Where, specifically, in the DSM5 are ASD1, ASD2, and ASD3 explicitly defined. I have a DSM5, and it doesn't appear to mention them.
DSM V mentions severity levels with people whose ASD is classed as level 1 severity "requiring support", level 2 "requiring substantial support" and level 3 "requiring very substantial support" (source: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) | CDC).Where, specifically, in the DSM5 are ASD1, ASD2, and ASD3 explicitly defined. I have a DSM5, and it doesn't appear to mention them.
Right. I totally hear you on that! We've been through therapists and etc... throughout his life and we are still stuck in many, many ways. Mostly we ask him questions and just have him answer "yes" or "no" to so we can get an idea what he's trying to say. He has been getting better recently, but we're praying specific prayers over him and it is helping.
I love being on the spectrum, I can't imagine my life without autism and wouldn't want it cured either. Without it I wouldn't be me you know?
Has anyone written on this? Where can I find it? ThanksThere is a school of thought that lower-functioning autism [ASD2/3] isAspergersASD1 with amplified co-morbid conditions, caused by a neonatal injury. The likely culprit is a reaction to certain vaccines that are turning ASD1s (a good thing) into ASD2/3s (not turning NTs into autistics).
Dr. Martha Herbert has proposed the "injured ASD1" model, though not due to fetal-cell vaccines specifically.Has anyone written on this? Where can I find it? Thanks
That’s correct. The neuro-typical mind generally lacks understanding. Just try to speak to nt’s about autism or ocd and they struggle with comprehension. I’m asd1 and have come to the conclusion that it has made my personal understanding of God and the Bible increase. It’s not a sickness just a different way of thinking and I believe a more accurate way of thinking in certain ways.Cured? Healing? Autism is not a sickness...it's a diversion from neuro-typical behavior. We're simply different not sick.
I’m asd1 and so is my son. His son (He is 1 1/2 years) suffered some brain complications at birth. His oxygen was cut off and he shows signs of being even more autistic. I’ll look into this. Thank youDr. Martha Herbert has proposed the "injured ASD1" model, though not due to fetal-cell vaccines specifically.
See also Autlanders, Thriving Outside of the Box: Vaccines & Autism, Another Perspective...I’ll look into this. Thank you
Those are called co-morbid conditions. They ARE injuries, but they are on-top-of benign autism.I would like to be healed of the weaknesses that come with it, though.
