The Autism in Black Podcast is hosted by Maria Davis-Pierre, LMHC and focuses on all things autism and the black parent experience. Our goal is to educate, support, and empower black parents to advocate not only for their children but themselves as well.

Today we are joined by Dr. Ann-Louise Lockhart for an engaging discussion. Dr. Lockhart talks about diagnoses that can co-occur with autism. She also talks about the difference between co-regulation and self-regulation, and ways to manage your thoughts and feelings. Dr. Lockhart speaks on executive functioning skills and how a diagnosis of Autism or ADHD can impact those skills. Lastly she speaks on how important the parent mindset is when your child is having a meltdown.
