Beyond the Diagnosis episodes
- Is It Just a Phase? The Early Autism Signs Parents MissYour toddler lines up toy cars by color but never drives them, covers their ears at the vacuum, and doesn't turn when you call their name. Early autism signs like these are easy to brush off as a phase. You don't have to diagnose anything. You only have to notice.
Licensed clinical social worker and board-certified behavior analyst Alisha Simpson-Watt, mother of an autistic daughter, explains what to watch for, why meltdowns are communication, and how to calm big feelings. You leave with a clear next step and less fear.
