What happens after your child receives an autism diagnosis? How do you know which therapies and recommendations are truly right for your child? And how can parents become confident advocates without feeling overwhelmed?

In this episode of Ask the Patient Advocate, Dr. Elena Borrelli speaks with Dr. Theresa Lyons, a Yale-trained scientist, autism parent, and founder of Navigating Autism, about turning uncertainty into informed action.

Dr. Lyons shares how her daughter’s diagnosis transformed her scientific curiosity into a mission to help families understand autism and make thoughtful, personalized healthcare decisions. The conversation explores why autism can look so different from child to child, how parents can identify the challenges affecting quality of life, and why treatment should be tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
