Finding out more detail

JT

How do those of us diagnosed as on the spectrum Asd know of other more detailed conditions, were you also diagnosed with those characteristics as well?

Things like: alexithymia, echolalia, or PDA?

...do I need to seek further assessment to look for these things?

  • A good profile report following your assessment should pick these phenomena out. Be aware that alexthymia (mentioned in my profile), echolalia (oooh I so have) and things like Synesthesia (also mentioned in my profile) are pertinent to your autism, but are not "conditions" which would get a "diagnosis". Nevertheless, if they were either in your profile report or you identify them yourself, they are well worth investigating to help you understand you better.
