    I was taking about gene therapy and the disccovery of #marker #genes for a number of genetically transmitted physical #disorders. I don’t know that #neurological disorders (as opposed to #neurodivergence which is a given in any population as part and parcel of evolutionary development in a specie — in my poor understanding of the term) are genetically transmitted as such, nor do I know if marker genes are discoverable for any identified neurological disorders. Without getting into fields of study of which I am completely incompetent to talk about, my assumption is that neurodivergence is not a neurological disorder. Happy to be corrected.

  3. #psychology 🧌 time, maybe #neurodivergent thinking is alternative modes of seeking. Maybe #autism is diffuse thinking by default, a breadth-first exploration of a problem space, and the #neurotypical is just goal-oriented and goes depth first. (Graph theory/traversal algorithm talk is leaking so sorry about that)

    Maybe #OCD is just attempts at producing a controlled environment, maybe #mood #disorders are rapid context switching to influence decision making in the probability distribution.

  5. We’ve all met a narcissist or two. And we all wish they would change, it’s probably safe to say. So can someone be talked out of being a narcissist? @ScienceAlert explores:

  7. "There is no agreement as to where to draw the boundary between #psychological harm or related concepts & #mental #disorders outlined in the diagnostic manual called DSM-5-TR (such as #depression, #anxiety or personality disorders). There is also no standardised measure of psychological harm or psychological #distress or damage."

  8. I am always studying how the #brain works as I have a few very complicated #disorders associated with it, and #neurology so my desire to understand myself leads me to trying to understand the #science of why.

    I was studying how different #drugs affect the nervous system, and into the topic of mixing them, and how that leads to your perception.

    You can't get "high" in multiple ways at once.

    Your brain turns it all into one input, and it's like an entirely different drug.

  10. Whose Cognitive Decline Is It? by Mary Trump

    #Trump has always been easily swayed by whomever or whatever is in front of him

    Lately his decline has become even more obvious. whether its due to some kind of #neurological condition or worsening of his long #undiagnosed, #untreated #psychiatric #disorders or both

    Sometimes it isn’t clear if he’s oriented to space, time & people. It's particularly evidenced during recent press conferences, interviews.

  12. 😶 FFS. The MAGA are busy bees.

    The #resurgence of the r-word.

    Disability advocates spent a decade campaigning against the #slur. Now it’s coming back.

    Around 15 years ago, a new campaign took off across the young social media ecosystem.

    People with #learningdisabilities and intellectual #disorders were asking everyone else to stop using the #rword to describe them or even to make jokes. No more, “Bro, that movie’s so dumb, it’s [r-word]…”
