At what age do signs of autism usually show up? Did you know that adults on the autism spectrum can go undiagnosed? What can we do to help others understand how to treat someone with autism?
In this week's episode, we are going to talk about what is autism and its spectrum. I was joined by Anna Marie Dorelien who is an expert when it comes to the subject of Autism. Anna helps families with kids on the spectrum or any disabilities that can be supported with behavior analysis. It has been her vision to bring this support globally since day one that's why we are lucky to have her on the show to bring awareness and information to the Philippines and anyone listening across the globe.
We also did an IG live about this topic and we covered a lot more subtopics about the subject so, make sure to check on that as well.
