What Autism Looks Like in an Individual with DS

Down syndrome and autism can be challenging disabilities separately, however when combined the challenges can be quite complex and oftentimes are misunderstood by the family members and professionals in the individual's life. If you suspect that your child may also have autism, or are new on this journey, then this presentation is for you. This workshop will take a look at what we know about DS-ASD, discuss commonalities in family experiences, explore basic behavioral red flags, discuss treatment recommendations where to get a diagnosis, how parents feel about an autism diagnosis, and what they can do if their child has DS-ASD.
