Video: Dr. Sarita Freedman discusses disclosing autism to others

Autism Hangout


When do you tell a child about their autism? When do you tell the family? What about friends? And teachers?

In this video interview, Dr. Sarita Freedman helps unravel some of the mystery surrounding when and whom to tell.
