60: Autism Acceptance with a Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrician

In honor of Autism Acceptance and acceptance of neurodiversity, I invited Dr Tamar Nazarian Chorbadjian, a Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrician. 

We discuss the following:

• The role of a Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrician in taking care of neurodiverse children
• The current statistics of autism and why we think we are seeing higher rates now
• Known risk factors 
• How the diagnosis is made 
• Misinformation regarding autism 
• The importance of establishing services early for a child. 

Tune in to learn about autism and make sure to follow us @pedsdoctalk and @drtamardbp to continue the conversation
