Good morning. My son was diagnosed with ADD after so many years of strugle. He is 17 years now. We live in Slovakia, Europe. Please, dear doctor Velkoff, can you advice or help? We have been strugelling for so many years very badly in stress. Thank you in advance, regards
Dennis, Autism is not a neurodegenerative disorder. Autism, as well as the former diagnoses of Asperger Syndrome and PDD-NOS, are neurodevelopmental disorders which can all be improved.
Does it matter how old the patient is? My son is 22 and about at a Level 2 Autism, is verbal, but needs to speak better, needs emotional regulation and do better with social skills. He did finish high school and has completed life skills courses. I think this could help my son. Also, can you recommend a practitioner in Colorado?
Yes I think it matters how old an autistic person is when diagnosed for example. There are different issues an autistic person needs to deal with, and therefore different strategies for dealing with them. For example a 4 year old non verbal autistic person will need different help to a pensioner who has recently been diagnosed. Each have their own hurdles to overcome or learn to deal with. Also, most Auties also have co-morbid issues that may need addressing.
I hope you say this because that was what helped you or your loved one. However, psychological therapy would not help my autistic son speak better. So, I think your statement, while probably valid for you, is not a valid statement for everyone.
Autism is not curable. It is not a disease. Autism is a neural diversion. Just as neurotypical people cannot become neuro diverse, the same is in reverse. Genes are involved. As an aside, the only 'curable' part of Autism should be acceptance, non bullying against Autistic people, tolerance and understanding. I also object to being labelled as disordered. As far as I have experienced, the 'disorder' is the ignorance and lack of awareness and acceptance of Autistic people in society, employment, social settings. We are all different in our world, all different.

Dr. Velkoff, my family doctor said that autism is neurodegenerative but Asperger syndrome is *_not._* What about PDD-NOS?

Deep psychological therapy will cure' it but the person has to be committing to their therapy in orser to beat the spectrum.
