Dr. Baker’s field of expertise and teaching includes Autism, Children with Complex Medical Needs, and History of Medicine. This session’s focus on the “Discovery of Autism” will take a historical look at the clinical diagnosis and will lead to a discussion of how the term autism has transformed over the years, and the impact that transformation has had for persons today with autism, their families, and clinicians. Far from being a rare categorical disease later expanded into a spectrum, the meaning and the boundaries of autism have been contested from the beginning.
This even will be held on October 2 from 12:00-1:00 at 321 MacNider.
Lunch will be provided
All are welcome
