| The hemp-derived CBD oil (defined as oil processed from industrial hemp that has been bred to keep an ultra-low THC content but higher CBD content, and then in some cases refined further to eliminate much of the non-CBD content of the oil) is legal in the USA right now.

| I think it all depends on your purposes. If you need a diagnosis to get disability or something along those lines, pay the big bucks and ideally get a team of folks to do the diagnosis. If you are like me, and want confirmation of your own beliefs but also want to give my counselor at the time (who ... |

| My understanding was that this was for multiple sessions, interviews with parents and/or significant others and testing. It is easy for that to pile up at $120-200/hour. |

| But all of this is to say that Tania Marshall did make it clear to me that she was providing an "impressions diagnosis," which may be useful in the future in some settings but not in all. It has proven useful to my family doctor (who prescribes me meds for depression, anxiety and ADD issue... |

| Spacedoutandsmiling, I checked with the Australia licensing authorities and she is licensed (and governed by the Australia practice rules) as a psychologist in Australia. Here's the listing for her from the Australia Health Practictioner Regulation Agency: http://www.ahpra.gov.au/Registration/Regist... |

| Spacedoutandsmiling, Great questions and thoughts. Here are a few responses that may or may not be helpful... 1. On the issue of her degree - In Australia, the most-common terminal degree for psychology is a Masters degree. See - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychologist#Australia This is also case... |

| Also for those wondering, the cost was $650 Australian, which came out to around $450 or so in US dollars. Much, much cheaper than comparable services here in the US. |

For others wondering, Tania's workup was based on the following testing and other information... * 9 pages of ess... |

| I gave up at the 8% mark. This survey is entirely too long. While I think the info might be useful (and my responses as an aspie who is an attorney of several years would be useful), I'm not going to be very patient with this kind of survey. There is no way it could be completed, accurately and care... |
