For Autism Awareness Month, Jennifer Bekins has begun posting a mini-series of posts about the dual diagnosis of Down syndrome-autism to run over two weeks (from 15th April), at Talk-Down syndrome. She will be drawing on expertise from her colleagues in the Down syndrome community, as well as her own experience as a speech and language pathologist at a specialist centre in Cincinnati.
Her post for 16th April (today, here in Australia) is the first of a two part interview with Joan Medlen, dietician and writer, whose adult son Andy was diagnosed with DS-Autism as a child.
