How does autism change over a lifetime? In this episode of Convos from the Couch, host Nicholette Leanza sits down with psychologist Dr. Daniel Marston to explore autism across different life stages—from childhood to adulthood. They discuss the evolving challenges autistic individuals face in relationships, work, and social settings, as well as the impact of early vs. late diagnosis.

Dr. Marston also breaks down common misconceptions about autism, the stress of masking, and how therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and behavioral interventions can provide meaningful support. Whether you're autistic, know someone on the spectrum, or just want to better understand autism, this conversation is packed with valuable insights.
