SLP 110: Understanding autism: common confusions and misunderstandings – with psychologist Emily Hanlon

This week I am joined by guest, Emily Hanlon, a Psychologist who completed her Clinic Masters Research on the well-being of siblings of children with ASD. She is the daughter of Randa Habelrih, a guest on the podcast in Episode 107.

Labels are difficult, but they do have benefits for proper diagnosis and support. 

There are three levels of ASD diagnosis:

• Level 1: ‘high functioning’
• Level 2: ‘moderately functioning’
• Level 3: ‘severe’, often severe difficulties with communication and selfcare

Also discussed ODD vs PDA and ADHD vs ASD
