Join us for a fascinating conversation about delirium work up and management in a primarily inpatient setting with OHSU consult liaison psychiatrists Dr. Kamalika Roy and Dr. Jonathan Floriani.

Dive into an informative conversation with Developmental and Behavioral Pediatricians Dr. Randall Phelps & Dr. Amelia Roth as we discuss multimodal evaluation for Autism Spectrum Disorder in children, as well as existing supports for patients with ASD and their families and further psychiatric considerations for neurodiverse youth.

As a note, we acknowledge that ASD does not solely affect children as more and more individuals are being diagnosed at older ages, partly due to systemic injustice in the medical system. The scope of this episode is limited to workup in a pediatric population.
