#211 Autism through Psychiatry’s Lens

Atypical Parenting; The Podcast for People Who Love Someone With Autism

In today’s interview, where Dawn was interviewed by Danielle Sullivan of The Neurodivergent podcast, we’re covering how the practice of psychiatry can help or harm autistic people, how medications are tested, used, and marketed to medical professionals, and how to find a psychiatric professional for your individual needs.
