Dr. Cindy and I discussed some of the research surrounding the cause of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), what parents should be on the lookout for in terms of symptoms, strategies used to help children and adults with ASD, and her thoughts about the depiction of ACD in pop culture.</p> <p><strong>Resources Mentioned</strong></p> <p>Autism Society of America <a href= "http://www.autism-society.org/">http://www.autism-society.org/</a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide-Aspergers-Syndrome/dp/1843106698" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome by Dr. Tony Atwood</a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Guide-Aspergers-Syndrome/dp/1843106698" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Parenting the Strong Willed Child by Dr. Rex Forehand</a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/SOS-Practical-Handling-Everyday-Behavior-ebook/dp/B00O4HSN18/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1522811881&sr=1-1&keywords=parenting+sos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SOS Help for Parents by Lynn Clark</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Where to Find Dr. Cindy</strong></p> <p><a href= "https://www.brighterhopewellness.com/">https://www.brighterhopewellness.com/</a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.brighterpodcast.com">https://www.brighterpodcast.com</a></p> <p>Twitter: <a href="https://www.twitter.com/brighterhopewc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@brighterhopewc</a></p> <p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/brighterhopewc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@brighterhopewc</a></p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/brighterhopewc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@brighterhopewc</a></p> <p> </p> <p>If you're looking
