How reliable are clinical diagnoses of ADHD & Autism? A case for an individual approach


Listen Later

This week we take a look at autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit disorder (ADD) & attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD & we ask some essential questions. How are these conditions clinically diagnosed?  Does the diagnosis address the individuals root cause? What are some of the causes? What are some solutions? And how can we approach this on an individual level to aid healing?
