07/31/20 • 28 min
Join Granny Rhea and Auntie Donia (Professor Rhea Paul and Dr Donia Fahim) in a conversation about Girls and Autism: the parallels, similarities, and differences in how girls and boys present with Autism.
The Super Special Question in this podcast prompts discussion and explanation about selective mutism.
