Talking with a Pediatrician: Dr. Mary Jones
Happy 2025! We are back with season 4!
To kick off the new year, I spoke to Dr. Mary Jones, a pediatrician with personal ties to autism. Get insight into the pediatric side of autism as Dr. Jones talks about her own personal experiences with autism, how she’s shaping her practice to adjust to the growing autism rates, and what both parents and the medical field can do to advocate for autistic individuals. We also talked about how race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status affects the autism field, and how providers like her plan to build more equity in diagnosis and treatment. Links to both her website and Glow Pediatrics (another team reshaping the autism field) are below.
On a technical note, this is the first episode that I have edited completely on my own (new year, new roles!). I’m on a learning curve with audio editing, so I apologize if anything sounds a bit off. I promise it will get better as I get the hang of things!
