Study: there's no brain differences in people labelled ADHD, autistic, & normal.

submitted by vintologi_se from self.AgainstPsychiatry

Neuroscience researchers find no differences in brain connectivity between children with diagnoses of autism, ADHD, and those with no diagnoses.

If you don't believe these studies, please consider that even if various suffering people had brain differences it could be a result of environment. ie:

** Cause & effect **

Everyone's brain is a little different but there's a wide variety of reasons like environment, personality, choice, etc.

Even if someone's brain is different looking, that doesn't prove the cause is some biological flaw. And it doesn't prove there's anything wrong with them. (Different ≠ a disease.)

    I have some theories regarding consciousness

    I read this https://brianwhitworth.com I found it profound. Consciousness needs reference and we are three dimensional hence, two more points need to be for consciousness to have reference. I use these two points to create three coordinates, awareness and the idea of what ever self is. These three points consciousness, awareness and self help me understand what I experience as the word consciousness.

    The title is misleading.

    It's not that there's no differences. It's that there's no difference in specifically connectivity.

    The brain is vastly complex with thoughts and behaviours created on a atomic level through a web of millions of cells. You simply can't see that with a brain scan. But they have to keep pretending you can to get that research money.
