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. Just yesterday, I basically told a parent who had been on my schedule since april that they shouldn't drive from three hours away because their AP student's therapist think they might have a touch of the 'tism. I referred them to another place, after I explained that our facility generally focuses on kids with more severe needs and I generally focus on a more classic (read highly impairing)...

Ethical decision making
I live in a small community and my practice has a major focus on autism. I was recently contacted by someone in the community that I know about therapy services partly about her adult son with autism. She has tried to find services in the past, but couldn’t find anyone with the specific knowledge on autism. This person was my mortgage lender 20 years ago. I met with her twice to sign paperwork, which I barely remember. We were at a coffee together in the community 8 years ago and sat next... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

WAMC? High GPA very low experience
Hello all, I was hoping for your honesty. I have been working on my vet school app and really realized how little experience I have. I concentrated on my GPA and settling in during my first quarter at UC Davis and then the COVID-19 pandemic hit in my second quarter, so I didn’t get many opportunities there. At community college I strongly regret not doing extracurriculars, but I had extreme social anxiety/undiagnosed autism. I was homeschooled K-12 (explains the social anxiety lol) so I’m...

Differential diagnosis resources for ADHD vs trauma vs autism
Hello, the primary focus of my training and work has been with forensic assessment. I am fairly confident in my skills for performing differential diagnosis with psychosis based disorders vs substance use vs personality disorders vs something else. However, I have since moved on to working more with the general population (still conducting assessment) with both kids and adults, and I find that I am not as familiar with the autism vs adhd vs trauma presentations. And then also ODD with kids... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Sexually harassed by a doctor I ’m shadowing - what should I do?
Hi all! I am a Asian female premed applying this cycle. I recently shadowed a white ~60 y.o. nocturnist at an ER. My husband’s friend (female) who worked with him several years ago introduced me to the doctor. This happened at my very first day at the hospital, and he appeared to be very quirky and clumsy. I can easily assume that he is autistic. He moved extra fast unexpectedly, made extra big movements with no boundaries, spilled my coffee, kept being in the way not allowing personal...

Change my top 3 W/A from last year's application?
I'm wondering if you guys think I should change one of my top experiences for the W/A section of my app. Originally it was a volunteering experience where I use the extra characters about forming a connection with a kid with autism as a camp counselor. I'm applying to 4 of the same schools as the last cycle and during the year, I accumulated new research focused on predicting patient outcomes with machine learning that has also been impactful. Would those same schools like to see new... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Has anyone seen an uptick in really bad autism evals? Is there any chattering about a position statement on pediatric autism evaluations?
With the influx of private equity and other funding moving into the autism space, my colleague and I have seen a massive uptick in bad autism evaluations. THere is one start up in my town and one national ABA provider that basically bring a kid for a recorded interview, recorded ADOS, and have the parent fill out a rating scale assessing autism symptoms and adaptives with a psychometrist. The goal of these evaluations are to say yes/no about autism. The psychologist then watches the video... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

When patients are invested in a diagnosis
How do you break it to them that they just don’t have it? I run a clinic that evaluates for autism. People have 30-50 page google documents that they have put together that they have categorized by traits to prove their case. They engage in reciprocal conversation, have little difficulty with social communication and understanding social cues, have a better social life than me, only temporarily don’t look at me when they talk, can’t think of a single thing they’re interested in and know a...

Lack of modern items in autism assessment. What behaviors would you include?
For example, it kinda drives me bonkers how most rating scales were developed before the iphone. One common and high specificity behavior I see in autistic kids is repeatedly playing the same one or two bursts of a favorite clip on youtube on their phone/tablet. So a good question for a rating scale would say: How frequently does your child watch and repeat same short part of favorite clip on youtube? Or, How frequently does your child use your finger as a stylus to work a tablet? What... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)
