In this episode of The Autism Dad Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Taylor Day, a licensed child psychologist specializing in autism evaluations and therapy via telehealth. We dive into the growing accessibility of remote autism evaluations, how telehealth compares to in-person assessments, and how it helps families stuck on long waitlists. Dr. Day shares insights from her personal and professional experiences, the importance of supporting the whole family, and why we must shift the conversation around parental emotions and autism diagnoses.
• How telehealth is transforming autism evaluations
• Why remote assessments can be just as effective as in-person visits
• The role of parental emotions and why grief and acceptance can coexist
• How parents can navigate diagnosis waitlists and start supporting their child now
• The importance of presuming competence in autistic children
Dr. Taylor Day is a licensed child psychologist specializing in autism evaluations and therapy. She brings a unique perspective as both a clinician and a sibling of an autistic individual.
