@ktclick "autism diagnosis criteria can’t ID autism in about half the world’s population"

50% of human population is not autistic...

My views on PDA are nuanced & derived from PDA literature, respecting divergent views on PDA, following typical research & ethics standards.

@ktclick Presumably, you are aware PDA is a highly controversial topic, with many ongoing-historical debates?

If not this video might be of use to you.

@ktclick You are welcome to submit into the special on issue on PDA & you can explain your views there.

@ktclick I am a modern approach to PDA, based on transactional stress. I am not viewing PDA as a form of autism for far too many reasons to go into detail at the moment. Here is a short video on how I model PDA:

@ktclick Here is a short video discussing the ethics of PDA.

@ktclick I would pay attention to the legal threshold to when a person counts as disabled due to impairment of their demand-avoidance & likewise threshold when demand-avoidance is pathologised as part of a Disorder.

@ktclick My PhD is investigating at what threshold PDA can be viewed as a Disorder at, which is something "PDA Profile of ASD" supporters should have done before assuming PDA was a form of autism. I suppose you are going to tell I am still conducting pseudoscience?

@ktclick Link to short video on rationale for my PhD.

@ktclick Yet, if you want an example of some PDA researchers not following typical research standards I can give you many examples. For instance:
paediatricsandchildhealthjournal.co.uk/article/S1751-…

@ktclick Another example of some PDA researchers not following typical research & ethics standards is from this thread yesterday.

@ktclick I suppose @ktclick, you are going to standby this:
"restart your whole “research” niche by first acknowledging autism diagnosis criteria can’t ID autism in about half the world’s population. Basing your PDA #pseudoscience on terrible data just makes you look silly."?

@ktclick @threadreaderapp if you could please unroll?

Thank you in advance.
