talking about? evidently diagnosis of ASD/developmental disorders are only warranted if they cause impairment, but this is meant directly right? i ask cause i'm diagnosed with social anxiety, depression with psychotic features (i don't believe i ever was psychotic though, not going to elaborate on that) and have significant problems with attention (not diagnosed add but am being treated with medication) the way i see it the depression seems to have been caused by sa, which was caused by my issues with attention and odd social behavior. as i understand it these sort of issues occur together with autism, but that would be an indirect cause of impairment and thus wouldn't warrant a diagnosis, right?
