Welcome to The Barrier Breakdown: Disrupting Mental Health!
This week our guest is Dr. Samuel Chawner, a research fellow from Cardiff University's Center for Human Developmental Science. His reasearch integrates genetics and psychology to provide new insights into child development and autism. Rather than disgnosing autism purely on symptoms, Dr. Chawner's studies use genetic testing to produce a more inclusive diagnostic procedure that aims to help individuals who don't meet the criteria for autism but still need help. We also discuss the effects of Covid-19 in Europe and the UK, as well as some of the differences between the US healthcare system and the European model.
