This episode journalist Georgia Cassimatis interviews her Dad Psychiatrist Dr Nicholas Cassimatis about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and the milder version termed Aspergers. Dr Cassimatis explains what the seemingly vast spectrum of Autism means, and how to differentiate between Autistic behaviour and it being a disorder. While Elon Musk for example, likes to announce that he has Autism, is he actually disordered by it? Does he really have it, or is he more socially phobic and introverted? We clear up the 'grey' around what Dr Cassimatis terms the 'social media diagnosis' about mental illness.
