Have you ever found yourself at a loss when your little one's emotions run high or noticed behaviours that make you wonder if they're just quirky or if there's something more?
In this episode, I journey through the terrain of early childhood development, with a particular lens on autism in children under five. I unearth the complexities of young minds, uncovering what autism might look like in our smallest humans and why understanding behaviour is so critical. This is a conversation about the silent language of tantrums, the hidden messages in play, and the profound influence of nurturing spaces in shaping our children.
I also bring my perspective as a child psychiatrist to highlight the importance of individual assessments, the risks of hasty labelling, and the promise of early intervention minus the stigma.
