Canada’s Autism Treatment Neglect

I just watched a fascinating, sixteen minute interview with a very well-respected Canadian psychologist — Dr. Glen Davies — who weighs in on a variety of issues pertaining to autism, including the rise in diagnoses, the efficacy of ABA as the treatment for autism through the lifespan and what happens when people with autism are not provided effective treatment. Dr. Davies discusses the fact that children with autism in Canada have been thoroughly abandoned by the health care system for their core health need, which of course is autism treatment. He provides valuable, sober advice to policy makers.

This is definitely an interview worth watching!
