Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Autism may affect one of every 150 children in the United States. Researchers are still learning more about the disorder, but some doctors say an early diagnosis can have a significant impact on the development of a child. Join Kojo as we learn more about the tools doctors use to spot autism, and one doctor’s efforts to develop a method for diagnosing children as young as nine months.
Guests
- Mel Rutherford Associate Professor of Psychology, Neuroscience and Behaviour, McMaster University
