Best ways to get referrals from y'all?
I'm a psychiatrist and potentially starting a private practice from 0. Would take major insurances, some Medicaid, no Medicare. Open to seeing pretty much anything other than ASPD/long criminal histories, but would like to keep substance use disorders to a minimum. Happy to see eating disorders, functional problems, ADHD, autism evals, in addition to the basic depression and anxiety. Do I just send letters to your offices? Should I stop by and talk to your receptionist and give out... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Job offer
I work independently through my LLC and do autism evaluations and counseling, mostly with neurodivergent folks. The last few years, I’ve been working from my home office doing things via Telehealth. I began working collaboratively with a psychiatrist about 6 months ago. We hit it off as friends. Last week, he offered me a 1099 job through the group practice he owns. I can keep my practice and also work out of his office and get referrals from his group. The upsides are being around... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Taking care of special needs sister
I had to take care of my severely autistic sister for essentially two years after high school while enrolled at community college and working about 30 hours a week. Anyways this included helping with showers, meds, food, day to day activities. I was wondering If i could include this under other activities. I have plenty of experiences and activities but the main reason why I want to include this is to explain some poor grades. If not in the activities section is there a place to explain this...

Homeschooling child during COVID in Work & Activities section of AAMCAS?
For the Work and activities section of the application, one category for an entry is teaching experience. During COVID lockdown, I homeschooled my autistic and ADHD son for 1st grade. I was also finishing my undergrad and working. This was a very meaningful and difficult experience for me with a lot of learning involved on my part. I know this is a unique situation and these activities want you to list a supervisor contact and all of that. Am I able to include this as a work activity for...

Are there valid and reliable adult ASD evaluations out there?
Anecdotally, it seems that autism is over-diagnosed (and self-diagnosed). However, are there "good" practitioners out there that aren't just throwing the Dx around? If yes, how do I find those folks (for a referral)? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

SO wants Pathology
We have questions regarding away rotations. Should he apply for an away at his legacy school? Is march-april the time to get in the visiting students applications in? It is also his home-state and close to grandparents (we have 2 kids, my oldest is 2 and autistic). There is also another program he’s interested in at the same state (CA).

Adult autism diagnosis
I’m having a difficult time lately working in this field. Every adult who comes through my door has seen Tik Tok Videos, YouTube Videos, and read Unmasking Autism (which they claim finally explains their whole life’s struggle). They all don’t make eye contact and look in many ways to be autistic. Certainly, they have crafted their life histories to match DSM-5 criteria, and many give me written documents relating their traits to the DSM-5. It is hard to interview parents because most have...

Codes and ethical considerations for autism screening clinic
Hello, Autism be outta control. We have shut down all external referrals and made a waiting list.
