Summary

"Honestly, I feel like they know I'm not trying to just keep them coming back to therapy or keep them dependent on me. I want them to have a whole slate of autistic people in your friendship circle. Even if I'm the first autistic person you ever sat down and talked to about your life or medical history, I don't want that to be the case six months from now. I want them to have an outlet into the autistic community", says Elizabeth Sherman. To learn more about Elizabeth and her occupational therapy practice visit https://heartofgoldpgh.com.
