Complicated Kids

Child psychologist and author, Shoshana Levin Fox joins me this week to talk about her work with kids on the autism spectrum. We cover diagnosis, treatment and - most importantly -- putting the child at the center of our intervention. And although we didn't resolve whether autism is or isn't misdiagnosed, we did have a lively conversation about it.
