Listen Later

One of the most common questions that I get asked about is how to diagnose autism. And this is why I am extra excited to invite the fabulous Andi Putt from Mrs Speechie P onto the podcast today.

Andi is a speech pathologist who specializes in autism assessments. And this episode is going to blow your mind.

What Are We Talking About?

  • What is autism?
  • Early signs of autism and when you may start to notice these.
  • What age can you get an autism diagnosis?
  • Who can diagnose autism? And what is the process?
  • What happens during an evaluation and who is there?
  • Tip for family members during an evaluation.
  • Common confusions with autism.
  • Autism and girls.
  • Tips for families post-diagnosis.
  • Early intervention; what is it and why is it important?

    • I also highly recommend heading over to Andi’s Instagram story highlights or her Facebook. She shares so much information along with videos as well.
