This week, Dr Nick, Miss Diagnosis and Prudence Dear speak to PhD candidate Alex Brazell on her work distinguishing between autism and trauma diagnosis in childhood.

'Autism spectrum disorder and devlopmental trauma are two separate conditions that can look similar in early childhood, and without a thorough dignostic process, can be confused or misdiagnosed.'

She delves into the behavioural crossovers and differentiations between the two conditions, her hopes for diagnostic screening technologies and how caregivers can access assessments for their children.
