Children with autism receive their first diagnosis, intervention plans, and developmental services at younger ages than they had in the past. #NICHImpact #Autism #ChildDevelopment #Diagnosis

Oh. I forgot. I collected a new Diagnosis last week.

Another with no cure, of course, just management.

This language of "freezing" and "lightheadedness" is such a disservice. It would really be great if the #WashingtonPost would stop only ventriloquizing what #McConnell's spokespeople are saying. Is it too much to interview a #doctor, with #medical expertise, who could tell us what might be happening? Not a #diagnosis (a doctor wouldn't do that) but what the #medical reasons could be. We all have ideas but it sure would be nice to hear the voices of #experts.

So I had my ADHD assessment with a psychiatrist yesterday.

Surprising no one, (particularly me,) I have ADHD, now with added official diagnosis.

Unfortunately medication was ruled out, so I just have to continue to cope as best I can.

WHY DO YOU HAVE SOME RIGHT TO DECIDE THAT PATHOLOGICAL DEFINITIONS CREATED BY ALLISTICS MUST REPLACE TERMS DESIGNED TO REJECT BEING THEIRS TO DELINEATE?
THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO DO?

"New study suggests people who tested negative for Covid-19 can still develop long Covid"

"A new study suggests that even more people may be suffering from the post-viral syndrome without having ever received an official diagnosis of Covid-19.

The study … was small, examining only 29 patients. But it offers unique insights into how many cases of long Covid may go unidentified …"

being #disabled never gets easier, even when facing the possibility of immensely successful treatments

its still having to trudge through mud and sand, in the middle of a windstorm, with several ton weights strapped to your ankles in order to get there

coming to terms with a serious and severe #diagnosis isnt easy. sure im "lucky" it was found in my early 20s and not late 50s like my mom, but that doesnt change jack-shit how im feeling

Can you find the malignant PEComa?
Advanced malignant PEComa is often misdiagnosed as other sarcomas or solid tumors.
Both images may look like leiomyosarcoma, but option B is the malignant PEComa. Learn more about diagnosing PEComa at https://bit.ly/3O2uz6g.

We're all #doctors in my family (I'm a lowly MFA, but I insist on playing along with those who are or were licensed #physicians I'm right about half the time.) The #diagnosis for #MitchMcConnell is #transient #Broca's #aphasia caused by #TIA or #seizure?

The actual doctors say he should have been rushed to the hospital because the few words spoken when he was able to speak 12 minutes later did not convey he was done with whatever was going on with his #frontal_lobe.

Wrong #Diagnosis Kills Hundreds of Thousands in #US Each Year

@garry. Problems with #hearing was one of my father's first symptoms of #Alzheimer's. It happened decades before the #diagnosis, & is what #doctors call a #prodrome, an early indicator of something wrong, of a #disease in progress, not fully visible, just waiting to appear. I write about the audiologist who asked my mother how long she & my father had been married, and when she told the doctor decades, he replied that my father didn't want to listen to her anymore. Rage. https://weinsteinandmiller.com
