    Welcome to the Autism Learning Lab Podcast, an exploration of the full spectrum of the Autistic experience hosted by clinical therapist Chris Blankenship. Today, Chris welcomes Dr. Aaron Wallis, a licensed psychologist with a background in college counseling and outdoor behavioral health. Dr. Wallis is currently partnered with Psychologist Solutions and is passionate about how substance use ties into attachment and trauma, specifically with those on the Autistic spectrum. Chris and Dr. Wallis discuss the trends they are starting to see between those on the spectrum and severe substance abuse, why overgeneralization is a dangerous practice, and how “typical” treatment may need to be adapted to fit the unique needs of the neurodiverse individual.
