Is it possible?

[DoIhaveto?]

I can barely wade through some posts I've read. I don't know what all the short forms of diagnoses are. PDD, AS, etc. etc.
Can someone please help me out with a translation thread, perhaps a sticky one, so I, and others, have something to refer to until I get used to the short forms? Thanks. :)

G'day DoIhaveto?,
I just posted these in the Useful Websites sections of ADHD, TS and Autism for now. Useful Websites is listed at the top of each forum.

It's hard to find a list of everything, but seeing you mentioned PDD and AS, the first link has some abbreviations that are mostly autism related. There might be a better autism one but can't find it. The TSplus ones have pretty good coverage though. It's difficult to find a list with everything on it because the neurology forums are very broad. If you need any other explanations for abbreviations, just ask. People will be happy to help out I'm sure.
