So informative!

As a clinician for those with autism, I appreciate the wide variety of topics addressed for adulthood in this podcast. There are many resources for individuals on the spectrum in childhood but not enough for the rest of the lifespan so thank you, Dr. Regan, for offering this opportunity that is easily accessible for parents, clinicians, and clients!

Excellent information on autism

I have yet to listen to one of her podcasts and not learn something new. Much appreciated by a late not yet diagnosed Audhd woman.
