SUMMARY:Zoom Lecture & Discussion: Changes in the Concept of Autism
DESCRIPTION:November 17 – Monday – 2:00 PM – Zoom – Lecture & Discussion: Changes in the Concept of Autism. Our understanding of autism has changed over the last forty years. Historically\, autism was diagnosed based on narrow criteria. ‘Autisms’ are now more often discussed as neurodivergence rather than a single ‘disorder’ to be treated. This lecture explores how our understanding of autism has changed\, and directions for future research.
