Valuing Peoples Interests at Axia

·

As you know, Axia sincerely values peoples interests, hence we try to do film reviews, game reviews and book reviews and so on, and we welcome Guest Reviews, the most recent of which was from Helen on Lynne Jones excellent book “Paws For Assistance”.

Thank you as always to the Anime Amigos, Calvin, Reece, Ren and Eliot for their diligence and hard work producing film and game reviews. Thank you as well to Amy for her time spent proof reading, and to Clare for typing Calvin’s audio recordings he uses to create his reviews.

    I have just been considering which of my special & occasional interests would be most shareable hereabouts. But there are so many special interest sites online these days; and on those other sites it is often the case that one feels that other posters on the site are already (for various reasons) quite conversant with neuro-divergent approaches to life.
    Well, I suppose I’ve recently become quite interested in electronics, electrics and single-board computers,but I would probably have to be quite careful that I didn’t make posts on topics where very few of the potential audience had any real interest. And so I tend to stick to something that most of us here have in common: the special interest of fascination with one’s own ‘situation’. And there is a good chance that such posts will be read and commented on, or at least considered. Naturally, I claim only a degree of personal expertise based on my lifelong experience. But I am also keen to hear the different experiences of others. And Axia continues to deal very well with such differences of interests. I am constantly amazed how much commonality and synergy is possible here!

      As I already indicated previously here,I imagine that just one of the special interests of many is the whole topic of neurodivergence itself. I have just been rereading my 2015 reprint of The Complete Guide to Asperger’s Syndrome by Tony Attwood. And still getting a lot out of it in terms of topics like ‘Escape into imagination’. But it occurs to me that in some ways it is now rather out of date as a general text; especially as it is titled ‘Asperger’s’. In 2024, it could be seen as rather out of date. For instance, it is still based on DSM 5, and could probably be broadened out more into the bigger picture of neurodivergence. I am just wondering if any here is aware of a more comtemporary text, or is willing to review more recent updates/reprints of Attwood’s book.

      It just occurred to me that I have no information about DSM 6. Well, I googled it and found a release date of May 23rd, 2024. But that’s about all I could find, and so I guess it is still being ‘digested’. I sense that this might interest some support groups. Or it could be reviewed.

    No date yet for DSM 6 or it may go to VI

      One wonders a bit what the difference is likely to be between a DSM with ordinary numerals (DSM 6) or one with Latin numerals (DSM VI). Yes, I realise they did this strange swop with DSM 5/VI, but I saw no explanation of their reasoning. It appears there is a significant delay in DSM 6, which suggests quite fundamental changes are in the offing!?
