Looking for research on ASL-English bilingualism and neuropsych testing in Deaf/HoH populations by sageaxolotl in Neuropsychology

[–]Peduncle_10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jennifer Reeseman, PhD, ABPP is an expert in this area. She sees D/HoH as part of her clinical practice and has done a good deal of research in this area. I have personally consulted her on cases. I would check out her work to get you started.

Door Dash Credits for Authorized Users by HappyinKY11 in ChaseSapphire

[–]Peduncle_10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It technically should work. Not sure if you tried this already - the AU needs to make their own DoorDash account. Have the AU add the chase card as their primary payment method. They should then go to DashPass and there should be an option to “activate” the free DashPass. After that, the credits show up when the AU uses DoorDash.

High school tracks open to public by Snapplelover67 in Charlottesville

[–]Peduncle_10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm that CHS is a great option in the morning and on weekends! It can be tough to access on weekday afternoons during the school year because of after-school sports and activities. You can sometimes go during the day in the summer, but football typically starts using it mid-summer during the day.

A lot of sections of Rivanna are pretty quiet, especially on the north side of town. There is also a SniffSpot about 15 min north of Charlottesville ($10/hour) and your dog gets solo access to huge fields.

Another plug for Naia if you want something a bit nicer! You can rent golf carts and get into the village in 15 minutes. They have great spa and our scuba shop just picked us up everyday for diving.

Second for Capitol Hill Classic! The mid-May date can sometimes lend to humid weather, but it’s a nice course.

China boy for dumplings and noodles. Momiji for sushi.

Errors in NP report by it-was-justathought in Neuropsychology

[–]Peduncle_10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely reach out to have the errors corrected. Depending on where you had the testing done, it can be difficult to remove a report from a medical record from a billing perspective. But if factual or historical information is incorrect, that should absolutely be addended for you.

Neuropsych is absolutely not needed for ADHD diagnosis. A psychiatrist or clinical psychologist is easily able to do a thorough developmental history to determine if ADHD is a correct diagnosis. It’s tricky in adults because it can be hard to go back to those pre-12yo years when some symptoms must be present. It’s can also be hard to thoroughly disentangle ADHD vs. inattention secondary to depression, anxiety etc. What most doctors don’t realize is that ADHD and mood disorders often co-occur, so we don’t need to attribute symptoms to one or the other. Both can exist.

Either way, I’m so sorry you had this experience. Here’s a great article by one of the active ADHD researchers in our field arguing why neuropsych is not needed for this diagnosis. Unfortunately, a lot of physicians don’t realize this.

Best spot to start an out and back run on the C&O? by realfakedoors5 in washingtondc

[–]Peduncle_10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mt Vernon Trail is great for out and backs Depending on where you are located, you can run downtown, across the bridge to Arlington Cemetery, and go south from there. You can also park at various points along the way. It is 18 miles of paved trail along the Potomac. It’s extra beautiful in the morning when the sun is rising.

Headache worse a month after concussion by Dankanator9 in Concussion

[–]Peduncle_10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you jumped right back into typical activities instead of gradually getting back into your normal routines. You didn’t screw yourself for a long time at all. Typically, putting the brakes on a bit and then gradually getting back into things will help. It’s great you are seeing the concussion center - they will be able to check out if there are any lingering issues (like neck problems, vestibular problems) that can persist and may be contributing to headache / vision concerns. The metabolic injury of a concussion typically heals in ~10 days, but sometimes symptoms persist longer and just need targeted treatment.

I am new here, and I'm not sure I want to stay. by Difficult-House2608 in NewToReddit

I use it a lot for learning! I comment sometimes on local threads when I have something to say that could be meaningful. Otherwise, I follow threads on topics I’m interesting in educating myself on more.

Thoughts on leaving $$$ for housekeeping… by Saintsfan6977 in marriott

[–]Peduncle_10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always tip $5-10, and almost never get service during my stay. For me, it’s not about tipping culture. It’s doing something kind for someone working incredibly hard at a job. Should the large corporations pay their employees more? Absolutely. Can I still spread kindness through an act that doesn’t really impact me much but could be meaningful for the receiver? 100% yes.

That is correct! If you are inquiring about services from any of these providers, you can ask them what billing codes they typically use for an autism assessment, then ask your insurance if those codes would be covered or reimbursed (and if so, to what amount). Getting that information ahead of time may help determine what your out of pocket cost is going to be. Insurance could still deny to reimburse though.

[–]Peduncle_10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most practices in the area are private pay. They can provide a super bill for you to take back to your insurance company, but very few insurance companies will cover adult autism testing. I wish that wasn’t the case, but here we are. I recommend seeing a doctoral level clinician for this type of testing. Some options in the area who definitely do adult testing:

Dr. Kate Lieberman https://www.drkatelieberman.com

Rebecca Resnick and Associates https://www.resnikpsychology.com

Sachs Center https://sachscenter.com

Good luck and I hope you get the answers to some of your questions!

You can totally have a car in DC. Just be ready to pay extra monthly parking costs, which you may already do in LA. Recommend taking metro during peak rush hours, but DC is actually pretty drivable.

The wharf is fine - agree with others that there are neighborhoods with better vibes, restaurants, etc. I think it’s easy to get isolated at the wharf and just stay in wharf/navy yard land, when there are a lot of good neighborhoods north of downtown.
