Expert Profile: Ettina

Expertise:  I can't answer 'biomed' questions. I can answer questions about behavior, what it's like to be autistic, specific subtypes (especially PDA) and educational methods

Experience in the area
I have PDA, a form of autism. I have also read a lot about autism, from the internet, books and medical journals. I've also worked with autistic kids as a volunteer.

Education/Credentials
Just high school.
