Dr. Morgan & Breann talk about how the autism diagnosis and the language we use for it has changed in recent years, what limitations the diagnostic framework still has, and how autistic advocates have pushed the neurodivergent movement forward.

Whether you or your kids are autistic or not, we think you will find this conversation interesting and helpful for understanding neurodivergence as a whole.
