Tantrums, sensitivites, trouble listening: many parents will wonder if their kids' behaviour is typical or a sign of autism or ADHD. Dr Preeya chats to developmental pediatrician and mother of three Dr Anisha Pillay about neurodivergence - what is it? What signs might prompt you to check in with a qualified health professional? And what does “seeing a GP or pediatrician” actually look like? Whilst Preeya and Anisha share plenty of practical titbits on this huge topic (with a focus on Autism Spectrum Disorder) they also provide a big dose of reassurance - there is no “normal”. The discussions in this podcast are general in nature and do not replace the need for you to see a qualified health professional for any concerns you may have.
