re PDA Diagnosis

NAS84198

I am working with Teachers in AP settings and its interesting to hear about the PDA diagnosis. I am myself registered Dyslexic and also the teachers I work with are also Dyslexic. We find that there is a good synergy and empathy from teachers also on the spectrum when dealing with children who are struggling within the educationy system. Has anyone else had similar expeiences as a dyslexic teacher?

  • Forgive me, I cannot decipher for myself what exactly you are asking, in essence to a PDA diagnosis.  Could you please try and clarify for me please?

  • This is normal- to relate with (empathy) like minded individuals in general. Jung may have identified the Autism Spectrum “design” as Introverted thinking when working out novels of theories on the archetypes of Introversion and Extroversion. There’s proof of like minded ness being able to synchronise brain waves and theres 2 main reasons ADHD and Autistic seem to understand one another: similar Gamma waves with less ability to control them (GABA resistors), which is also why both can hyper-focus and the lack of filtering incoming signals (Salience Network) - or as I prefer, less of an ability to dull one’s senses. 

    Dyslexic processing appears to be similar by design, set up with stronger neural pathways for a different ability we need in society. It’s considered “ on the Spectrum” The only thing really differentiating the Autistic Type is a difficulty with non-autistic social nuance, which is big and changes their ability to mature to one which needs exacting guidance if even wisdom and fundamental ethics. 

    different ways of reasoning and constructing the world were once normal. Sociology will show how much society has changed in the last 50 years as corporations are given more control over group-think through advertising. I don’t think it’s a conspiracy tho, just a system wrapped in a cognitive bias gone a bit wild.
