The Autism Society of America is proud to continue our Coronavirus Information Series with a conversation with Dr. Robert Naseef, a psychologist and father of a child with autism.

On April 9, Dr. Naseef sat down with Christopher Banks, CEO of the Autism Society of America, to discuss what he has learned so far in dealing with autism that will help us through this crisis, including readjusting expectations and ways to better cope with uncertainties, advice to parents about taking care of themselves especially now with the added demands of being home all day, and advantages that parents of individuals with autism may have in facing the current crisis.
