Useful for parents

Some episodes are really insightful for parents, to help gain an understanding of the perspective of an autistic child. Some episodes cover different strategies for managing different behaviours and some insight into why they occur and are useful and may be soothing to an autistic child. Plus covers DSM 5 which I was clueless on prior to listening to this. Some articles are more about discussing research which I struggled to remain engaged with.
