Episode 5 - Navigating the Teenage Years with ASD
Adolescence is tough enough as it is -- but what happens when you throw Autism into the mix?
In this episode, our teen and parent roundtables share their thoughts on the teenage years, and some of what they have to say may surprise you.
Plus -- Katie speaks with Claire-Winson Jones, a psychologist at ABLE Development Clinic in Vancouver who works with teens on the spectrum. She offers some great advice about supporting your teen with ASD through their high school and post-secondary journey.
