Hi I'm autistic (and I have ME) I've been autistic my whole life. I've had ME for less than 20% of my life. I don't think you would find any autistic people agreeing with the idea that "ME is late onset autism". Autism does not involve any deficits in energy production or any exercise...

Thank you @Sly Saint

Can anyone summarise please? I can't follow information that's presented orally.

I was at uni with Katherine Ladd. She's brilliant!

"Nothing to lose" Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I think the sentence in the minutes is poorly worded and probably means that the video claims that GET is okay.

I'm autistic and I have ME (like, I definitely have ME, I'm diagnosed and I meet the ICC criteria). My ME started off mild, and for a long time I thought it was just "autism fatigue" (also known as autistic burnout), as I'd heard people talking about that in the autistic community. Even when my...

YUCK. So they're implying that me/CFS and FM both involve "illness beliefs" AND they're implying that autistic people are more likely to have faulty beliefs about their health. So they're managing to shit on both ME/cfs patients and autistic people with this one.

Simon Baron Cohen is disliked by the autistic community almost as much as Wessely etc are disliked by the ME community.

It can be in some cases. "Scrupulosity" is the name for the religious form of OCD, and it can be absolutely devastating and debilitating for the sufferer. I know people who have suffered with this.

What?!?! I thought Julia Newton was one of the good guys...

This is good news in my opinion.

You have Schrodinger's thoughts

Yeah looking for a boom bust pattern in group data would be completely pointless and meaningless

My statistics may be a bit rusty as it's 2 years ago that I took a statistics course. But, I don't think that the use of regression analysis is even appropriate for this paper. You need to have solid grounds for treating one variable as the dependent variable in a regression, and the others as...

(This isn't really "news" but I didn't know where else to put this thread.) Firstly let me clarify that I am not talking about the bogus 'recovery' statistics that are propagated by the BPS lot. Rather, I am referring to hearsay that ive heard within the ME community (from people who are not...

'Orwellian' is right. Torture is treatment Illness is recovery Scientific critique is harassment Orwell knew how language can affect thought. If we rename torture as "treatment" then it suddenly becomes acceptable! And if we rename scientific critique as "harassment" then it suddenly becomes...
