Focus, Spectrum, and Smarts: Navigating the Big Three for Licensure

Send us a text

In this episode of Licensure Lifeline, we go into the second show in the mini-series on the DSM-5—your essential roadmap for differential diagnosis on the licensure exams. Today, we zoom in on Neurodevelopmental Disorders, including ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Intellectual Disability. You’ll learn how these disorders are defined, how they commonly show up on test vignettes, and how to avoid the traps that exam writers love to set.

We’ll start with a fascinating historical vignette about the early days of diagnosing childhood disorders, unpack the key criteria in plain language, and then walk through real exam-style questions—both multiple-choice and case vignette formats. Plus, in the Study Stack segment, you’ll get practical AI prompts you can plug into ChatGPT or other tools to boost your studying efficiency.
