January 13, 2025 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
The distinction between autism and mental health issues is crucial for both individuals and caregivers, as it helps to clarify the nature of each condition and the best approaches for support and treatment. In this talk, Dr. Gantman will provide context in understanding the differences and potential overlaps between autism and mental health issues. He will contrast differing treatment techniques as well as how to recognize where autism ends, and mental health begins. By recognizing the unique characteristics of each condition, we can better support individuals in their journeys toward improved mental health and social functioning.
