Today I am talking to Dawn Tree, who is a psychiatric nurse practitioner who has an adult autistic son and is also a late-diagnosed ADHDer. Dawn has been practicing in psychiatry for the past 30 years. In today’s interview, we’re covering how the practice of psychiatry can help or harm autistic people, how medications are tested, used, and marketed to medical professionals, and how to find a psychiatric professional for your individual needs.
