A Note on Online Research
The internet is full of information about autism, ADHD, child development, behaviour, and learning — and not all of it is accurate or evidence-based. As you research options for your child, we encourage you to prioritize peer-reviewed sources, reputable organizations, and clinician-led guidance over social media, forums, and anecdotal accounts.
If you're using AI tools like ChatGPT, use them as a starting point — not a final answer. These tools can generate confident-sounding information that is incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate, particularly in clinical and developmental topics.
For AI-assisted research, we recommend using tools that draw directly from peer-reviewed research (such as Consensus), making it a more reliable option for families wanting evidence-based answers.
If something you read raises questions, bring it to your next appointment. No question is too small.
