The Link Between Autism and Trauma
The millions of Americans with autism and other developmental issues are more vulnerable to emotional trauma, often from bullying or sexual abuse. What can you do if this has happened to someone in your life?
This week we’re talking about a new company called Positive Development, which offers developmental therapies paid for by insurance, currently in Florida, New Jersey, California, and coming soon to Illinois. Maryanne Nugent is the Chief Operating Officer and the parent of a 23-year-old son who received DIR/Floortime when he was 3. Returning guest, Dr. Joshua Feder, is the Medical Director, an Expert Training Leader in the Developmental, Individual differences, Relationship-based (DIR) Model and a child and family psychiatrist, among other things as we know from our past podcasts.
