4:16Well, through the diagnosis of Asperger's, how did it come about? What was the journey like? Can you explain to the viewers and listeners of the podcast, how did that came to be?

Radhika AchariGUEST
So I had been a BCPA working with early intervention for about eight years before I had my son.

Radhika AchariGUEST
And so I kind of was very aware of where the developmental milestones were and keeping kind of my own track for that.

Radhika AchariGUEST
What I realized for my son is He – we didn't realize until he was about – he started eating, so he was about six, seven months old.

Radhika AchariGUEST
But he had very, very low oral motor and oral muscle tone, so very specialized in that area.

Radhika AchariGUEST
And what that looked like, looking back, what that was when he was born is that he couldn't even nurse properly, right? We kind of had a like patient consultant.
