It’s been so interesting to watch as autism and “spectrum” disorders have risen dramatically in our society. It certainly seems that the rises in anxiety, depression, and chronic pain are all related; and are all related to stress and cultural ways that stress is manifest in our current society.
Links between FND and autism makes one wonder how much of autism or spectrum disorders might also be mind-body or neuroplastic conditions?? The same question might be applied to ADHD and how that has also risen significantly.
