Understanding Autism

By Laura Knoy on Thursday, September 3, 2009.

The number of children diagnosed with this kind of developmental disability keeps rising, here in New Hampshire and nationwide…but no one is really sure why. We’ll explore that question and look also at how autism is diagnosed and treated, and what impact autism has on families, schools and communities.

Guest

  • Linda Quintanilha, parent of three children with conditions on the autism spectrum
  • Carol Ann Edscorn, autism educator and advocate who also has Asperger Syndrome herself
  • Laura Rubin, neuropsychologist at the Portsmouth Neuropsychology Center

We'll also hear from

  • Kirstin Murphy, Executive Director of ARCH (Autism Resources for the Community and Home) and Administrative Director for the New Hampshire Council on Autism Spectrum Disorder
