What does it mean to be autistic, and how does autism change with age? These are just some of the questions we explore with our esteemed guest, Dr Tim Morris, a specialist in child psychiatry.
Together, we’ll tackle diagnosing autism, discussing how it manifests differently in children, teenagers and adults. We focus on the two core components of autism - social communication difficulty and rigidity and explore the cultural, gender, and age-related variations of autism. Teenagers, in particular, face unique challenges as they navigate the social world with autism, and we delve into these complexities.
