What really happens when we diagnose autism with Danielle Drinkwater

Dani gives us an insight into the world of autism diagnosis - and why she felt she had to stop.

Dr Danielle Drinkwater is a clinical psychologist and co-host of Let’s Talk Neurosense.

In this interview-with-the-hosts episode, Dani talks about her path into clinical psychology and why she wanted to work with children. She explains her clinical experience working as a neurodevelopmental diagnostician, and explains why she found herself increasingly uncomfortable with her part in the diagnostic process. She asked questions, but found it hard to get answers she was happy with.

This is an unusually honest insight into the mind of a diagnosing clinician. We hope that you enjoy it.
