The Intersection of Autism and Addiction, with Dr. Brandon Park

After a long search for a trustworthy specialist, I finally cover a topic I’ve been wanting to dig into - neurodiversity and addiction. When I found neuropsychologist Dr. Brandon Park, Founder of New Focus Academy, I knew I had someone with the expertise I needed. In this episode, Dr. Park explains why kids with autism can find themselves especially susceptible to addictions – not just to alcohol and drugs, but also technology use and other behaviors. He also shares what parents need to know when considering treatment for a child who is neurodiverse - it’s a do-not-miss conversation.
