SPECTRUM SUCCESS: HOW AUTISM CAN HAVE HIDDEN ADVANTAGES, WITH SPECIAL GUEST DR. SNEHA MATHUR, AUTISM EXPERT, AND DR. AVILA’S FORMER PRODUCER, THE MARVELOUS REGGIE PERALTA (“A SPECTRUM SUCCESS”)

If you or a loved one is on the Autism spectrum, or if you have been curious about this condition, then you’re about to learn some fascinating things about this often-misunderstood diagnosis.  On our Love University podcast, we had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Sneha Mathur, autism expert, as she enlightened us on the truth about those who are classified as being on the “spectrum.”  Sneha talks with Dr. Avila about the natural diversity and creative potential that these unique individuals may possess. Although a number of them can have challenges in social and behavioral areas, they may also exhibit great qualities of creativity, intense focus, loyalty, the ability to detect patterns, and passionate productivity. According to Sneha, what was once viewed as a severe mental disorder can be reconceptualized in a more positive way that respects the abilities and contributions of these extraordinary people.
