My guest this week, Dr. Ashley de Marchena, is on a mission to give communication strategies to autistic people and their non-autistic communication partners. We had a great conversation that covered a lot of different tips and advice to improve communication.

You will learn:

• How non-autistic people can be better communicators to autistic people
• Ways to check in to make sure you are being understood in a conversation
• What research says about teaching autistic kids multiple languages

• How can you give more time in a conversation?
• How can you reduce assumptions in your communication?
