Dreadful Nonsense

"I've read your blog. it's really funny. you should write a column." - Jon Ronson

I'M FINISHED!!

If you don't believe me, here's my conclusion:

"Francesca Happé’s studies into this area have suggested that in some previous studies in which adults and adolescents with PDD passed such tests, they may have relied on simple problem solving strategies. It has been shown that many individuals with PDD and other Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) achieve considerable social and personal adjustment without any real relief of their initial autistic symptoms (Happé, 1994). Furthermore, people with PDD can come by their social and mind-reading skills after a delay, resulting in the fact that the normal developmental context of these skills is absent. This can often mean that the skills they posses do not serve them well in all situations (Roth, pg. 274). Therefore, it cannot be said with any certainty that the findings of this study can be applied in a wider context, and more work needs to be done in this area, with a wider and more varied clinical group, to fully explore whether or not these more naturalistic assessment methods are useful in exploring the mind-reading deficit of adults with PDD."

I'm going out now, to drink alcohol with my sister and listen to questionable live music. Hurrah.
