Autism Rates Rising : Early Signs, Causes, and New Research

Why are autism diagnoses increasing so dramatically and what should parents know about early detection and brain health?

In this episode of the Divine Health Broadcast, Live Long and Strong, Dr. Don Colbert, MD joins Mary Colbert and Kyle Colbert for an important conversation about the rise of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the factors researchers are studying today.

Dr. Colbert discusses trends in autism diagnoses, why boys are affected more frequently than girls, and how early screening tools such as M-CHAT and STAT help identify signs sooner.
