Gender Identity Issues Linked to Autism Spectrum Disorders & ADHD

[Hikari]

Well.....  Maybe I'm just an anomaly.  I do not have, nor have I ever had, anything resembling ODD, ASD, ADD, ADHD, Asperger's or Autism.  (Though I hear that squirrel are mighty good eating.)  I just am, and always have been, a run-of-the-mill, garden variety trans woman.

Though I do have OPPS (obsessive pool player's syndrome.)

Same here except I am terrible at pool :p
In fact I would go so far as to say that my attention and memory are some of my best attributes, while socially these days I am at least average. I suppose though no matter how much increased likelihood there may be not everyone is going to have asd or ADHD.

Since the abstract does not give any P-value to validate the alleged difference between the experimental and control groups, I remain skeptical about their claims, Dos anybody has the full paper ?

Like a cross between turkey and pork. They're something you regret eating, though.

What?  I thought squirrel tasted like chicken... 

Actually give me an idea for a restaurant.  Call it "Tastes Like Chicken" and serve up random critters.

Don't they just call it McDonald's??

Treated for ADHD as a teenager.  As an adult, I ended up off the wrenches and behind a desk.  I had to go back on meds to keep my job.  I schedule a lot of labor hours and estimate and plan lits of projects.  I love it until some vendor comes in trying to show me cool new parts I want to buy for my machines.  Nerd that likes gadgets.

I have wondered if transition would help...  Good to hear that for some it has.  I hate taking the ADHD and anxiety meds.

I hate the the feeling of the Adderall. I'm sure the meds could increase anxiety!

They referenced "Using Lancaster's mid-P correction to the Fisher's exact test for adverse impact analyses."

Transition did nothing for my ADD, but was life-changing in other areas.

You could try other medications.  Adderall definitely gave me a feeling, like you say, but ritalin does not.  That's for me, I'm sure everybody is different.

Huh. I was diagnosed with Asperger's later in life but have always been skeptical. Whatever, I am not remotely neurology normal. I'm a bit dyslexic, moderately dysgraphic (hahaha had to type that 3 times), have sensory issues, coordination issues, etc.

Addrerall really screws with my sleep. I skip sleeping about twice a month. I didnt sleep last night and it almost 1 am now and I have to get up at 7am.
