Episode 4 - DSM-5-TR - Neurodevelopmental Disorders
This episode just goes through the first two paragraphs of the DSM-5-TR on page 35.
I am wearing my noise-cancelling headphones to calm my nervous system today.
I think the introduction is written well, but there must be at least 12 people writing the text.
This episode will cover Autism and ADHD and identifies the stage of a child before school age. We cover global imparements and executive functions.
I am not here to obliterate the DSM-5-TR. I am just here to give a bit more substinence to Autism and ADHD.
I discusss my experience of seeing children that are “totally mentally broken” but when I speak to professionals, they know that the home life and the parents are to blame, but nothing is done about them
The children are always the ones who burden the problems of life that are completely out of their control because there is a toal lack of responsibility of the parents and of professionals turning a blind eye!!!
In adults, I spoke to L.LShawn Fairly on my podcast about how women (and men of course) can suffer from physical abuse in the home causing ADHD symptoms.
Here’s the link:
