There's, uh, the assessment process.
Jenny OkoloGUEST
For example, with autism, you have to be ADOS or ADI-R trained usually to be able to be a part of the professionals assessing for that, and it takes such a long time to reach that point.
Jenny OkoloGUEST
And I think it's really unfortunate that people don't realize the gravity in terms of the waiting list.
Jenny OkoloGUEST
But also, if people can't get it via the NHS, they go privately, and they're very expensive, you know? And if somebody has to pay to get that diagnosis or to just be assessed, because that's the other thing, right? Y- you have to, to think, is it to get the diagnosis or is it to get the support? And I think that's been the, a major topic in regards to that.
Monica CorradoGUEST
So I think the social ability where it's actually an ADOS has good flow to it, you know, and our conversations have good flow that may be different from what we would see with ASD.
Monica CorradoGUEST
And then I also think the comfortability and role play and pretending was much, much higher with our PDA kiddos, whereas you would, you know, and we're forgiving an ADOS or, you know, an ADIR, we're asking parents, what is it like? How are they with imaginative play? Oftentimes, our PDA parents are saying they adore imaginative play.

Monica CorradoGUEST

Dr. Lord is not just any guest.
RyanHOST
When I and most others think about autism research, knowledge and education, there's a short list at the top, the top of the top tier, with numerous contributions such as the Autism Diagnostic Interview or the ADI, the Social Communication Questionnaire, and the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, or ADOS.
RyanHOST
Two are considered the gold standards in autism assessment.

In addition, to back my thoughts about Dr. Lord's contributions to autism, a paper released in 2023 in Frontiers in Psychiatry shows she has the most impact in productivity in autism from the years 2011 to 2022.
