How Many Dx?

[nomads-quill.livejournal.com]

Ok, so I'm new here. Hello.

My T from ages ago was talking about some things she is doing with new therapists on rotation in her clinic. She is really trying to stress catching this Dx earlier than is standard. It got me to wondering...

D.I.D. was my 5th or 6th Dx. Historically, folks like us go through a lot of Dx before "they" get it right.

She even asked me to write something that she could use in her teaching to help illustrate for new Ts how important it is to see the signs. How my life could have been a bit better-slash-different had the many Ts before her noticed all the signals.

And I guess I am curious as to the responses you guys might give if asked such a question.

I apologize if this is chunky or not clear enough. My head is loose and it's hard to stay on topic just now.

On the subject of your last point, LJ does give you an interface for that in the form of the Memories section, but I'm pretty sure that only the manager(s) can add memories to a community. I don't know how feasible that option is for here, so...

We considered using that. It's a good idea, but I think it's still a little too cumbersome. There are specific LJ styles that allow links to be added at top or side (see the top margin of http://www.livejournal.com/users/ksol1460) but most community members read this thing on their friendslist. When new people come in asking certain questions we're able to point them to the list of websites we gave nomads_quill, and I want to be able to add a webpage to that which will be easy and self-explanatory for new users to navigate.

Hmm, that does sound like it would work better...
