Understanding Autism

Welcome to Being a Parent is Hard! This week's episode focuses on understanding autism and how we can best help children, adults, and parents who are touched by this very complicated disorder. We will talk about the different levels of impairment across the autism spectrum, ranging from issues with social awareness, rigid adherence to routines, and communication difficulties to intellectual impairment and chronic self-injurious behavior, Perhaps most importantly, we will look at the scientific information and the misinformation that is flooding our news feeds and help you tease out fact from fiction.
