True, but even in a one and a half year old, there is this incredible reciprocity in neurotypical kids that you don't always see.
It's really fascinating.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I to I totally agree.
I think this is an incredibly important question.
I I would say as a psychologist, you know, we go by um American Psychological Association ethics guidelines.
And the standards for testing are that you really want to have testing that is informed by multiple people in multiple settings, with multiple methods, and always based on direct contact.
contact with the child.
So I know that pediatricians will sometimes, you know, they'll spend ten minutes with the kid giving shots or whatever and
They'll give the parent an ADHD questionnaire and the parent might circle all the highest numbers because their kids driving them nuts.
And that's not psychological testing, right?
Um that's a screening.
What we do here is first of all, we only work with tests that are
normed and validated for and that we know measure what they're supposed to measure.
So there's a lot of ethics in terms of the actual assessments that we even should be allowed to give.
And so there are gold standards in the profession for sort of what those are.
And those are based on, you know, lots of clinical trials with kids of different ages and different socioeconomic and ethnic
Backgrounds, gender, those kinds of things.
So something like the ADOS, which is considered sort of the gold standard for testing for autism, is really great because it actually technically is supposed to have an objective scoring system.
