Autism and COVID-19, my interview with Professor Andrew Whitehouse, PhD

Many positive messages and great insights from Professor Andrew Whitehouse, one of Australia’s leading Autism researchers. We cover the impact of COVID-19 for people with ASD and how best to manage dealing with change in routine at this challenging time. We also discuss the positive shift in research away from focusing on genetic causes toward supporting people with ASD in leading independent, fulfilling lives.
