Mama Fry from “Autism with a Side of Fries” gives her TOP 10 TIPS for parents new to ASD. Barb shares her thoughts on ASD and eye contact. We also discuss structural ways that neurons in the brain vary with conditions like Autism and Dyslexia and how those brain styles compliment each other. Neither may be the result of a purposeless breakdown in function, but rather a valuable specialization trade off.
