Val's Take

             This has been a helluva ride, a helluva life's journey.
              This year has marked the beginning of "ORCHID REPORTS" synthesizing enormous amounts of material and experience.
              Once somebody does synthesize that block of information/ or creates, modifies and/or integrates that canon or canons of knowledge --- others can use it, build on it, challenge it, improve its production values, turn it into ART, Comedy, SATIRE--- whatever.

               This Anti-Social Personality Disorder Report is one of our most important reports.

                The FINAL REPORT:
  • Includes the Science we believe enough to make our case (we probably will issue a separate Report on the Science by the end of the month)
  • The report requests INTERIM PROCEDURES/ COLLABORATIONS and much of that does involve the STATE MEDICAID AGENCY 
    • ​Both as a funder of SERVICES for people experiencing various cognitive disabilities, and 
    • The STATE MEDICAID AGENCY'S role to bring together HOUSING and other stakeholders for Olmstead Planning.
    • We include an Australian Court Problem Solving Model for people with "Anti-Social Personality Disorder."
    • The DSM 5's NOMENCLATURE is NOT just PEJORATIVE but INACCURATE and MISLEADING as well.   Human Behavior can be terrible --- "Anti-Social Personality Disorder" Classification -- is HURTING a lot more than it is HELPING.
FINAL
(we may clean up a little bit more but this is essentially the FINAL REPORT)

Jacob Bronowski:  Knowledge or Certainty -- There is no absolute knowledge.

Brain Scans of 9- to 11-Year-Olds Offer Clues About Aggressive and Antisocial Behavior


​August 3, 2020

Summary: Compared to typically developing children, those with disruptive behavioral disorders, characterized by antisocial behaviors and aggression, had less gray matter in the amygdala and hippocampus.

The behavioral problems of a 9-year-old tend to look very different from those of a teenager.

What if, before any severe delinquency and rule-breaking began, the young child’s brain function and reward-seeking behaviors could provide clues about whether antisocial behavior, violence, and aggression might develop later?
