Currently, 1 in 36 children in the nation is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder and the numbers continue to rise. Boys are reported to be 4 times more likely to be diagnosed with autism than girls. On this episode of Caregiver Crossing we speak with Courtney Stubbs, School-based therapist, and mother of DJ, a 4-year boy living with autism. Join us to hear Courtney’s (and DJ’s) story and learn some signs to watch for and tips for navigating care of a child with autism.
