We'll be right back after this quick break.

I think what happens as people get older, especially on the spectrum, is that they have always felt different and they and it helps them to know why.

So there's that benefit.

But then I would say there's a lot of kids on the spectrum who go, Oh, my IQ is a hundred and twenty six and then they go to school and tell everybody, I have Asperger's and my IQ is a hundred and twenty six.

And that's a downside too.

Right.

And so I actually don't usually give kids any numbers.

Mm-hmm.

And it's always the Aspies that want their numbers because they're always really high.

But oftentimes there's something that's not quite clicking as much.

And so and they they don't really want to hear that part of it.

So I I'm very gentle in the feedback that I give kids, especially depending on their age.

It's a huge piece.

And you know, I do have to say everybody does things differently.

And so, you know, I I'm a clinical psychologist and not a neuropsychologist.

So clinical psychologists I don't do a set battery, whereas neuropsychologists often or clinics sometimes do a set battery.

This is what we do, this is how we look at it.

I really look at the whole person and say, What does this person need?

What do and then as I'm going, I start to pull more form.
