Dialectical reasoning establishes what cannot be proven but is nonetheless empirically obvious…for obvious reasons. If anyone capable of keeping in mind most autism is (dialectically) undiagnosed bothered to study it I believe what they’d find is Alzheimer’s women are inevitably mothers of autistic adult children. Psychiatry withholds its dialectical awareness at the behest of those paying its fees in part by conflating undiagnosed with unremarkable, but dementia (egdecompensatory regression) doesn’t randomly occur as part of an otherwise unremarkable mental health history. Autistics do it on the front end, schizophrenics in the middle, and (mostly undiagnosed) narcissist and psychopath women who are many (but not all) of our mothers regress at the end. Schizophreniform decompensation is essentially Stockholm syndrome in reverse, so of course it most-frequently happens in early adulthood shortly after leaving home. So-called autistic burnout is autistic catatonia (which is frequently misdiagnosed as early-onset dementia then “treated” with contraindicated antipsychotics which accelerate catatonic persistence and decline thereby confirming misdiagnoses of dementia). Not only can catatonia be EASILY differentiated by simple lorazepam challenge, but adult autistic regression is anxiety (FEAR), NOT PSYCHOSIS (dissociation)-an acutely aware freeze response evolutionarily equivalent to “playing possum” JUST LIKE AUTISTIC “SHUTDOWNS”. It’s also abundantly obvious to anyone who removes his blinders that BPD is the inevitable sequelae of untreated postpartum psychosis in ASD. Psychiatry (the very discipline which elaborated autism as developmental delay when Bleuler coined the neologism for Freud’s “infantile autoeroticism” to steal credit for Freud’s work) continues to insist there is no such thing as an adult-onset PD. This is self-servingly self-contradictory. Battery dying. I could write a shit ton more, but you’re a researcher (and mature beyond your years). You’re in a better position than me to run with this anyway
