oh, that is just my autism episode 116
Thoughts on the DSM & Adult ASD Diagnosis w/Dr. Christina Stai

Quote:
Now it's time to hear from an actual clinician who conducts ASD assessments for adults. Dr. Stai gives some interesting insights into the diagnostic process from a psychotherapists point of view, plus gives some tips for those seeking an assessment. Oh, and I might add, Dr. Stai is neurodivergent herself!

The Podcast is about an hour. Dr. Stai talks about social media and the stigma against clients who bring that up, the parts of DSM most people even therapists do not read, and tells her own interesting diagnosis story.
