Deirdre Brandner is a wonderful psychologist based in Melbourne. Deirdre has a special interest in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and many of her clients are children and teens on the spectrum. In this episode Deirdre gives practical and insightful advice, based on her extensive experience and training, for parents with an emphasis on parenting kids with ASD during the unique challenges presented by the Covid pandemic. Deirdre's advice is valuable, however, for all parents and not just those of kids on the spectrum.
