In @nature.com "The age at which a person is diagnosed with #autism can be partly explained by genetic factors."
www.nature.com/articles/s41...

@australia.theguardian.com EXPLAINER www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

"‘autism’ has become a ragbag of different conditions.” ~ @utafrith.bsky.social

Polygenic and developmental profiles of autism differ by age at diagnosis - Nature

A study of several longitudinal birth cohorts and cross-sectional cohorts finds only moderate overlap in genetic variants between autism that is diagnosed earlier and that diagnosed later, so they may represent aetiologically different conditions.

It's a while since I quoted my adult friend with #devlangdis, and this is the first time on bsky, 🦋 #bskySPEECHIES.

"I've been working and working and working and getting nowhere for weeks. I feel like Syphilis."

SISYPHUS PUSHING A HUGE BOULDER UP A STEEP, ROCKY MOUNTAIN.

"In Greek mythology, Sisyphus or Sisyphos is the founder and king of Ephyra. He reveals Zeus's abduction of Aegina to the river god Asopus, thereby incurring Zeus's wrath. His subsequent cheating of death earns him eternal punishment in the underworld, once he dies of old age. The gods forced him to roll an immense boulder up a hill only for it to roll back down every time it neared the top, repeating this action for eternity". Wikipedia

Despite these positive developments, there is still more to do to ensure diagnosis and support for people with dementia are not delayed due to cultural and language barriers.

We need to continue expanding supports, including:

Specialist dementia training for interpreters: to handle repetitive speech, non-linear conversation and culturally specific expressions.

Language and dementia awareness training for health workers: to understand why language loss happens and how to adapt care to address cognitive decline and also consider overall wellbeing.

Better matching of interpreters: including age, dialect and cultural familiarity, especially in dementia-related contexts.

Expanding the bilingual workforce: hiring more health-care workers who share the languages and cultures of local communities, particularly in rural, regional and remote areas.

Culturally tailored dementia resources: booklets, videos, and support groups in multiple languages, co-designed with community members.

Can you help, please, @he-es-canada.bsky.social ? We wish to cite this definition in a book but the URL is "dead" (the one we have is: www.cfhi-fcass.ca/Migrated/PDF...) Is the 2005 report available on your site or elsewhere on the web 🙏? Thanks @pamelasnow.bsky.social @jandrpress.bsky.social

“Evidence is information that comes closest to the facts of a matter. The form it takes depends on the context. The findings of high-quality, methodologically appropriate research are the most accurate evidence. Because research is often incomplete and sometimes contradictory or unavailable, other kinds of information are necessary supplements to or stand-ins for research. The evidence base for a decision is the multiple forms of evidence combined to balance rigour with expedience—while privileging the former over the latter.”
Canadian Health Services Research Foundation (2005, p. 9)
