I often find myself teetering on this edge of if I were to go by the DSM five, which is what I'm supposed to do, this this girl does not meet criteria for an autism spectrum disorder, or she's sort of like like what you said with Asher, she's kind of on the borderline.
But then there's the question of is it valuable to give the person a label or not?
And sometimes it's really valuable to have that label and sometimes it's not.
Thank you.
I'm so excited to be here.
Great question, and I think a lot of different sort of spider webs of answers there.
I would say that in terms of the referral sources, so I'm in private practice in Missoula, Montana, and so I get my referrals.
I don't I don't advertise.
I get my referrals from other therapists.
I get my referrals from pediatricians as well, of course.
Um sometimes parents that I've worked with refer their friends.
friends um because they know they're having trouble with their kids or I'll get referrals from more folks in the community like community case managers or even sometimes teachers or
special education paraprofessional kind of folks.
We also have teams of school based mental health folks in our schools here.
And so I get a lot of referrals from them too.

Gosh, it really depends.
It depends on the kind of person that you are, and it depends on how troubling the child's symptoms are in terms of how distressing they are to the child or the parent or the the school.
or how much impairment they're causing.
