Welcome to the Autism, ADHD podcast. I am so happy that you join me today. I want to take a moment and ask for your help. Please take just a second and give the podcast a five-star review.

This will help me continue the podcast and keep bringing you

helpful information. Thanks so much again for taking the time to give that five-star review. Now,

let's get started. So today I'm here with Dr. Emily King. Welcome, Emily. Thank you for having me.

So excited to be talking with you today. And why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself?

Okay. So I am a licensed psychologist who practices in Raleigh, North Carolina. I work predominantly with children and teens on the autism spectrum with ADHD, with anxiety,

and with their parents.

I'm certified in DIR floor time, so I do a lot of play therapy with the little ones on the

spectrum to build relationships with parents and to learn how to play and connect with their

playmates. And then CBT with the older ones.

I also love writing my blog, which is parenting on your own path. And after several years in

private practice, I realized that people weren't really sharing their stories with each other.

They were sharing them

just with me. So I started just talking about different patterns, writing about different patterns

that I saw and heard, and then now have an anonymous parent blog post where parents can email

me if they want to share their story. But my going backwards, my background

is in school psychology. I worked in schools for about five years before moving back home to

North Carolina, North Carolina is home and have been in private practice here. Excellent. Well, I'm

glad that you're here in Raleigh with me. Yeah, I know. I love it. Okay, so today we're going to talk about how do you do free time with differently wired kids?

This is not easy.

Right.

It's not easy.
