Autism diagnosis can be overwhelming, not just for children, but for parents too. Dr. Samir Dalwai explains the difference between Autism and Autism-Based Neurodegenerative Disorders, and highlights the emotional struggles mothers face, often without support.

Without proper guidance and emotional support, the mental toll can be devastating. This conversation with Raj Shamani sheds light on how parents can navigate autism, the importance of support systems, and why emotional well-being matters just as much as medical care.
