After earning a Ph.D., Mary launched her first online course in early 2015 and later built additional courses and a membership program to help parents and autism professionals. 

Mary's book, Turn Autism Around, her online courses, weekly podcast, and social media channels help parents and professionals start turning things around for young children with early signs of autism and older children with an autism diagnosis who are still struggling. In this podcast, Mary talks about her mission to impact 50 million autism-affected children by 2025 and the steps she has taken toward achieving that goal.
