Episode 47 - Can You Tell If Someone Is Autistic Just By Looking at Them? | Autism Myth Courtroom #5

Can you really tell if someone is autistic just by looking at them? In this final Autism Myth Courtroom episode, Dr. Christopher Quarto puts one last myth on trial. Discover why autism doesn't have a single "look," how masking can hide autistic traits for years, and why curiosity is a better guide than assumptions.

The Adult Autism:  A Spectrum of Uniqueness podcast series is hosted by Christopher Quarto - a licensed psychologist who evaluates adults for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) (https://chrisquarto.com).  Issues pertaining to mildly autistic adults (and neurodiverse folks who believe they are on the spectrum) are covered on the podcast including sensory sensitivities, how to make friends, regulating emotions and the role pets play as friends.  Listen and discover why your uniqueness is awesome!
