I'm Dr. Carol Baltazar. I'm a wife, mom of 3 kids and an Internal Medicine Physician. My oldest son has ASD. On the Autism Mom MD Podcast you can look forward to episodes where I'll have guests who will share their different expertise and rich experiences. The guests will range from people who are experts in their field to parents, siblings, caregivers and autistic individuals. Hopefully this will have a positive impact for individuals who feel like they are facing challenges on their own. And on this journey we'll pave the way for empowerment, growth and inclusion of autistic individuals so
everyone can live out their best life possible.
New episodes will be released bimonthly on Wednesdays.
