Southern Remedy Relatively Speaking | National Autism Awareness Month Part I
Description
April is Autism Awareness month so today we’ll be talking about what it is, what it is not and some of the reasons why the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder comes later than it should. Plus we will take a look at some very recent research about why it may be more common in girls than we have thought in the past.
