Autism Spectrum Disorder: Recognising the Signs

Dr Miriam Kirby is a child and adolescent psychologist who specialises in autism. She understands the key criteria that are required to make this diagnosis and the support parents and children need. On this podcast, we chat about what the features of autism are, how it affects children and the treatment principals. We also talk about how children can be supported along with looking at why early intervention is so important. Other interesting aspects such as current research and future developments are explored. We also discuss specific situations such as ‘meltdowns’ and difficulty in social situations.
