Should not need email #PDASpace with details of @BPSOfficial @NICEComms & recent PDA systematic review positions, suggesting they may wish to stop saying PDA is an ASD. Why would they currently view PDA as an ASD? @PDASociety @Autism

I will see what #PDASpace response to the email is before deciding if it needs to be added as another example of "PDA is an ASD" community not changing its position, i.e., being dogmatic.
Anyone want to take odds @PDASociety will be adding another example of "PDA is an ASD" supporters being dogmatic with its imminent monthly newsletter?
Broader reflections on importance of Kildahl et al (2021), @NICEComms & @BPSOfficial recent position on PDA, treating all expert views equally & not assuming PDA is an ASD.
That research originating from at least 1 certain private clinic that diagnoses PDA.
Which is known for its understanding of PDA.
1Used that understanding to arbitrarily create it is own PDA algorithm.
Views PDA as an ASD.
Only diagnosing PDA in autistics...

... That ignored many good reasons in the PDA literature for not including developmental traits & features.
That research from at least this clinic can be viewed as being unethical, unscientific & not reflecting PDA literature & clinical opinion on PDA; perhaps close to poor quality research.
What would I know (rhetorical)?
Reasons in literature for not including developmental traits. There might be more than this.
You tell me if you think it is reasonable for any "PDA is an ASD" supporting clinician to arbitrarily include Developmental traits in a PDA algorithm?
