Uggh! Court TV is posting unedited neuropsychological findings in detail with no explanation
For an ongoing murder trial in Idaho they have posted what appears to be the summary of a detailed comprehensive exam paid for by defense. The primary diagnosis is ASD level one. There are over 1k responses where people are debating what the findings mean. This is concerning as the clinical language of psychiatry/psychological assessment is going to continue to be misconstrued and dropped into the cultural lexicon of language on social media. The findings are also likely wrong and erroneous as the defendant allegedly was notorious for regularly verbalizing homicidal language directed at himself and to others in public which resulted in his banishment from multiple establishments. If I had to wager a guess (without having spoken to him or having any other data than interviews I have watched of people describing his alleged bizarre behavior) he was responding to internal stimuli. I hope to God people don't think this is ASD.
I added the link, it's on the court TV FB page, I'm not sure the link is allowed here.
Edit: I made an error in post title-the summary is edited.
