Turn Autism Around

Mary Barbera

Booking Overview

This is a primarily solo-expert child-development and autism podcast focused on practical strategies for speech delays, behavior, early intervention, and daily life skills, with occasional interviews featuring parents, collaborators, and autism-care innovators. PR agencies could credibly pitch autism researchers, speech and language specialists, early-intervention clinicians, parent advocates with compelling outcomes, and accessible technology or care founders; booking difficulty is low because recent guests include a longtime collaborator and a mission-driven app creator rather than highly prominent public figures.

#350: "Free" Tips & Therapy Aren't Really Free - The Autism Myth Keeping You Stuck

September 08, 2026

Dr. Mary Barbera explains why "free" autism advice and therapy can still carry a cost when they delay real progress.
