The Use of Terms When Discussing Autism, Intelligence, Impairment, and Disability
by KWombles in Countering...Age of Autism, Misinformation, and Woo
The terms we use, how we define them, are important things. Often times, we use similar terminology interchangeably. We're discussing nebulously defined disorders (autism and intellectual disability) that change over time and depending on the criteria being used. What do I mean about interchangeability and criteria? The official umbrella in the DSM-IV is not autism spectrum disorders, but is instead pervasive developmental disorders. However, the NIH uses autism spectrum disorders, as do m........ Read more »

Who will do well, who will not?
by Adiemusfree in Healthskills: Skills for Healthy Living
If I had a crystal ball, and could decide who would do well in self managing their pain, and who would not, what would I do? A holy grail for insurance companies and health economists and yes, clinicians, is to find some precise way to decide who needs the most help with their pain, and [...]... Read more »

Accepting chronic pain
by Adiemusfree in Healthskills: Skills for Healthy Living
How willing are you to have persistent pain? Can you accept pain without fighting against it? If you were told your pain was going to be there forever, would you avoid important activities or would you start to get back into life again?
Recently I reviewed about 200 questionnaires completed by people attending the [...]... Read more »

How do you establish who will do well with pain management?
by Adiemusfree in Healthskills: Skills for Healthy Living
Some people just won’t do well with pain management. In just the same way as a surgeon selects good candidates for surgery, so people need to be selected for self management. Although there is some truth that getting even a little pain management is good for everyone, the cost of doing so in staff energy [...]... Read more »

More pain sites over time = greater risk of work disability
by Adiemusfree in Healthskills: Skills for Healthy Living
It struck me today, as I spent a little time with two people who have been returned to Pain Management Centre for a review of their progress, that something we don’t do very well is help people distinguish between an acute or new problem and what might be a flare-up of the old chronic problem.
