Just collated this list..........honestly I will stop thinking about it soon & getting it down here will help get my mind off it (stops me worrying that I'll forget something!).
Still haven't had official confirmation of my ADOS date (told by phone last week that it's mid July) but will be glad to get it done.
Still can't imagine how ADOS will fill in the gaps, as it focusses on Social aspects rather than RRBs ..................
Score on the RBQ2a (a new standardised self-report on Restricted and Repetitive behaviours in Adults) is 1.6. This is 0.53 standard deviations away from the ASD score in the reference, and 1.84 standard deviations away from the NT score.
EDIT 5th June 2019 - added a few extras to the list and decided I'm going to print out and show my GP when I see her later this month...........
Had to Google Aphantasia. Thanks for that, I now have the word for it! I can't picture things except in very simple terms like a diagram or child 's drawing.
Also - I love medical words! Neuroplasticity, aphantasia, chromeasthesia, synaesthesia, anaesthesia, hyperglycemia, anoxyphilia, anterior cingulate gyrus, postural hypotension, etc etc all seem to have such lovely rhythms and can usually be worked out because of their roots.
Same here, I never knew there was a word for it (it's gone on my list)
When imagining what somebody looks like my brain can't conjure up the image, I have to think of a picture of them that exists. The images never move and are usually undefined, dull and quickly disappear. (If you've seen the Lego movie I'm pretty sure my brain looks the same as Emmet's when they go inside!!)
You're welcome :-). I can picture things that are occasionally clear, but only parts of scenes & the other parts of the whole scene move around and fade in and out. Yet another thing that I thought was normal until recently!
