Autism and Memory: What’s the Link?

Many believe autistic brains are wired differently, which often raises the question if there’s a link between autism and memory.

There are many questions regarding autism, and although each child on the spectrum is unique, no one can deny that there’s a certain relationship between autism and memory. We’re here to help you understand their connection.

¡Qué peligrosa es la desinformación! No había un diagnóstico preciso para Donna, tampoco el apoyo y estabilidad emocional en la familia, pues su vida estuvo plagada de injusticias y violencia, de ignorancia y abusos. Para la mayoría, Donna estaba “loca”.

Debo admitir que para tener pocas correcciones y edición, el libro mantiene un ritmo coherente, la mayoría de las partes están ada
