Show Notes

Estimates indicate that about 25% of school children on the autism spectrum are missing a correct diagnosis, and over 90% of adults on the spectrum remain unidentified. In this podcast, Dr. Regan busts the myth that if autism is present, it will be accurately detected and identified in childhood.
