A Paediatrician and a Parent

I'm a paediatrician, but I'm also a dad who has navigated the neurodiversity journey with my own family. I've seen both sides: the clinical science and the parent's mix of love, worry, and fierce advocacy. My mission here is to decode the complex world of child health, replacing confusion with clarity and anxiety with confidence.
