Significant delays in ASD diagnosis and treatment
'Heartbreaking' delays in autism diagnosis and treatment got even worse during pandemic
Despite increased public awareness, research advances, and wider insurance coverage for autism therapies, children often wait months — in some cases more than a year — to get an autism diagnosis and begin intervention services.

Yep- I'm currently booking assessments in Feb. 2023. I struggle to see why there is such a lack of psychologists who do this. As a sustainable business, purely doing ASD evals only became viable less than a decad...

DSM-5-TR changes to Autism Spectrum Disorder
I am totally curious to what they will be. I figure I'd start a thread since we're getting close to release date. Does anyone here have any collateral contact with the DSM committee and know? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Hi everyone
Michigan resident, 4.0, 510 MCAT, ORM

Clinical volunteering: none.
Non-clinical volunteering: Currently volunteer at a center for autistic children and should accumulate around ~200 hours. Started in the winter of...

Pushy biology professor and me being a pushover
I had it drilled in my head that I wanted to be a doctor, I was aiming high, but the thing is, I'm kind of a pushover, and am sensitive to feedback from others, and my biology professor when I told him I wanted to be a doctor aggressively insisted I don't become a doctor, saying it isn't fit for me. which hurt my feelings because I actually looked up to him as another aspie (person with asperger's). he now makes the class repeat every day, him:"ladies and gentlemen what is our principle...

Behavioral therapist job for autistic children
Hello everyone I applied for a job as a behavioral therapist for autistic children. The reason I applied is because I want to help autistic children in the same way that my autistic cousin was helped.
I just want to know if this counts as good clinical experience? It can’t count for volunteering experience because it’s paid but will this count as clinical experience? (Source: Student Doctor Network)
