2/18/2022 - Still working through a backlog of excellent questions! This episode we're doing a couple of deep dives. The first is focused on meltdowns, as a followup to a question from the July 2021 ADT episode. And the second dive is a review of autism research by decade (starting with the 70s). We've come a long way, baby... but we've a ways to go before we rest.

In reviewing when the bulk of the research was done as well as who did it, you'll see a lot of Tony. Given his ongoing interest in autism, he's clearly been living the dream (right place, right time). I'm happy he's decided not to retire (because there's just too much yet to do). Thanks, Dr. T.
