When parents get an autism diagnosis for their child, they might be relieved to know what’s happening, but, most likely, they will also be fearful. What does this mean for the future? When and how do I tell my child? And how do children and teens react?

Marcia Eckerd, PhD, and Rob Bernstein will explore these questions and more in this practical and helpful seminar.
