@CourageBipolar @AutismJournal DSM IV doesn't include a social anxiety disorder as such. They call it social phobia (300.23). That does not describe what you describe in your situation. So that seems quite odd. PTSD doesn't include what you describe, either. Something else looks to be going on.

@CourageBipolar @AutismJournal behavenet.com/diagnostic-cri… They're the same. The DSM Task Force used to lag behind ICD. With DSM5, they lead the ICD11 Task Force.

@CourageBipolar @AutismJournal was in medical physics (the reason I was researching the behaviour of word prediction and speech synthesiser systems was from having been involved in learning support with kids experiencing very similar things). If it isn't volitional speech lack, then it is not (s)elective.

@CourageBipolar @AutismJournal It really might be worth getting that investigated. The main thing with (s)elective mutism is the consistent apparently volitional lack of speech in some contexts but not in others: this very much defines it. What you describe reminds me of a lot of things I was studying when I

@CourageBipolar @AutismJournal The Swedish clinician(s) who diagnosed her are the ones I trust on this matter.

@AutismJournal Given that she was diagnosed by a proper diagnostician, your 'opinion' is rather immaterial, really. Having attended a number of Nordic conferences, having many hours of discussions with diagnosticians across the four major Nordic states, I prefer to trust them over you at this.

Cognitivists need to remember that the field in which cognition was given any real attention was behaviour analysis! Comiserations to Jack's family, friends, colleagues and students.

Sad news: Jack Michael of WMU dead at 94. He was a true pioneer of behavior analysis. He taught Skinner’s Verbal Behavior to generations of students, for a time almost singlehandedly keeping it alive in the face of ill-conceived but powerful attacks from cognitive psychology.

@codyfrostmusic I got round to thinking he'd grown something of an intellect since the Pistols years. What a fucking disappointment. Just as non-progressive as the people he thought he was rebelling against in the mid-to-late 1970s.

@MightyKreskin @PatriquinCarla No maybe about it. The vast majority of psychologists factor into things the biological substrates that mediate stuff. They'd get fuck-all done, otherwise.
