Join Susan and Cissy in a conversation with Dr. Amanda Gray. Dr. Gray is a Licensed Psychologist near the Dallas area. She has experience as a school psychologist, but has moved to private practice. In this first half of the conversation, she talks about the difficulties of navigating getting the diagnosis of autism and getting to the supports that are needed, particularly for girls. She notes that boys with with autism and less academic needs may also not always get the supports they need. She reminds listeners that there is a difference between a medical diagnosis and an educational eligibility. She wants to support families as they navigate these kinds of issues. Be sure to come back next week and hear more about girls with autism. Oh, and stay for the question.
