I am an LA educational psychologist, AMA.

Really enjoy reading the AMA threads so thought I would offer my own. I work for an LA as an EP and completed my training within the last 3 years. AMA.

I’m confused by ASD and ADHD diagnosis. I genuinely don’t understand the theory behind them, are they a neurological disorder, I.e a disease? Or are they a different way the brain is wired? Can either of these been seen on MRI etc? How do we know they exist, besides behavioural observations? I’m not trying to be rude or anything like that, I really want to try and understand.
