In today’s episode, Dr. Sheeza Mohsin & Durriya Shamsi have an important conversation about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), with a special focus on the South Asian community.
Durriya brings years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults with neurodiversity and helps us understand what autism truly is, how it shows up across the spectrum, and why our cultural frameworks around ”normalcy” can get in the way of getting our loved ones the support they need.
Whether you're a parent, a sibling, an extended family member, or simply someone who wants to show up with more compassion — this episode is for you.
Durriya Ahmed Shamsi is a BCBA (board-certified behavior analyst) and has worked with children, adolescents, and adults with neurodiversity. She is currently pursuing her doctorate in clinical psychology
