Oligomechany

Oligomechany, also known under the name of Oligomechanic Spectrum Disorders is a mental condition characterized by impairments in three domains; Executive functioning, abstract thinking and behavioral rigidity.
== Diagnostic criterias ==
Criterion A: Symptoms 	Executive functioning	Abstract thinking	Behavioral rigidity
Mild 	There could be an apparent			lack of awareness of obvious stimuli but a significant awareness			of dangerous or unpredictable stimuli. There are severe			difficulties correctly directing attention, for example, the child			may be distracted by everything and laugh uncontrollably, or they			might blatantly stare in space and not focus on anything for long			periods of time and might be unresponsive to stimuli outside of			dangerous ones. Working memory is profoundly impaired to the point			all recently learned information is automatically forgotten for a			long or short period of time. Mild disinhibition can be noticed,			socially inappropriate behaviors can be difficult to control, for			example, there could appear inappropriate flirting, childish			pranking or joking at a burial. There are serious difficulties			inhibiting emotions, they can be extreme, ranging from extreme			temper outbursts, childlike silliness or crying easily. There			could be severe difficulties with planning or organization, or			finishing a multi-stage task; such as putting clothes on before			starting it, or extreme disorganization of materials and			information.	There could be difficulties			noticing certain obvious nonverbal cues as well as expressing in			nonverbal terms, such as gestures, facial expressions, tone of			voice, eye contact and idiomatic meanings, although creating			symbolic meanings can be easy. Theory of mind is poorly developed			and there are difficulties differentiating between own’s			thoughts, beliefs, preferences and emotions and those of others.			There can be serious difficulties and strengths in either			mathematics, imagination or spatial tasks. There are serious			difficulties with basic social responsiveness such as giving			significant responses to others’ mental states, difficulties			understanding the concept of courtesy, sharing back interests,			objects and emotional responsiveness. There is a serious lack of			attachment to caregivers as the child does not understand why they			should like their caregivers more than others. Social approach is			either abnormal (lack of greeting, courtesy and intrusiveness) or			absent. Short sentences with few details are difficult to			comprehend, but complex sentences are difficult to comprehend as			well. There is a lack of interest in the past and future outside			of one’s fantasies. There are difficulties understanding why			others have different beliefs than oneself.	There could be difficulties			adapting behavior to basic social situations, for example,			children may always talk the same way in each situation, or they			might not know how to do tasks differently than they routinely do.			There could be a lack of imagination concerning future or			alternative situations or difficulties changing habits, for			example, not knowing how a basic situation will turn out or			difficulties changing an object’s place or change the channel			even if it is wanted, there are difficulties shifting between			mental states. Fear responses may attenuate symptoms temporarily.			There are some difficulties shifting between activities as well as			difficulties initiating simple tasks, and difficulties changing			beliefs to match conventional values of society. Activities may be			voluntarily or involuntarily repeated for long periods of time,			including ritualized behaviors such as washing hands for pleasure			or walking in circle around the table. There could appear intense,			perseverant interests around a few topics, with episodes of			extreme focus on one of them. The same words may be involuntarily			repeated as a response to questions.
Criterion B: Exclusions	If such criterias are met,			they are not met for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or			another executive functioning disorder.	If criterias are also met			for Intellectual Disability, symptoms such as behavioral rigidity			should also be present. Symptoms are not met for an Autistic			Disorder.	Absence of a central			coherence deficit, a typical case of Oligomechany may be			accompanied by a strong central coherence.
