Building strong communication skills with your autistic child

In this episode we are joined by Prof. Andrew Whitehouse from CliniKids at The Kids Research Institute who has been a guiding light for parents navigating the complexities of autism, and in this episode we dive into one of the most important aspects of that journey – communication. Whether your child has just been diagnosed or you’re looking for new ways to connect, this conversation will provide understanding, support, and practical strategies. About Andrew: He is the Deputy Research Director at The Kids Research Institute Australia, where he also leads CliniKids – a national network, embedding clinical trials into everyday care for children with neurodevelopmental differences. He has published over 300 scientific papers, attracted more than $80 million in research funding, and presents the international video series 60 Second Science.
