The Autism Spectrum — Dr. C's Morning Minute
The autism spectrum is exactly what the name implies: a wide range of presentations, severities, and profiles united by core features in social communication and restricted, repetitive behavior. The common misconception that autism is a linear spectrum, from mild to severe, misses the dimensional nature of the condition. An individual may have significant challenges in one area and relative strengths in another; no two autistic people are identical in their profile. Dr. Carosso's Morning Minute series explored this complexity in an accessible format for parents.
