Episode notes

"But he makes eye contact. He loves hugs. He's so smart."

That was my first reaction when a therapist suggested my son get an autism assessment. I want to talk about that reaction because I think a lot of us have had some version of it.

This episode is about where our picture of autism and ADHD comes from, why that picture is so incomplete, and what happens when you go looking for answers for your kids and accidentally find yourself instead.
