    Psychiatrists out here still hold ASD for a schizoid disorder, like they missed out decades of research. It’s depressing.

      Also, lots of new cPTSD research.

      DSM 5 came out and I didn’t get an Asperger’s dx at the time in my 20s even tho… Eternal life suffering.

      Anyway turns out I have cPTSD. 🥹

      My dude reads the ICD 11 too.

        Even ICD11 isn’t known here. All kinds of physicians still diagnose on the outdated ICD 10 catalog. “Autism spectrum? Never heard of! You have ADHD? Then you cannot have autism!” 🤦

        In fact, the hospitals with an autism dept cannot diagnose ADHD and those with an ADHD ambulance cannot diagnose ASD.

        And forget to ask about DSM. That’s even less known than ICD 11 here.
