Breaking Barriers in Adult Autism Diagnosis with Dr. Gregory Skinner, M.D.
Description
Guest: Dr. Gregory James Skinner, M.D., a Calgary-based family physician and leading advocate for accessible adult autism diagnosis.
Dr. Skinner shares his remarkable journey through international medical training, his personal connection to autism, and the challenges he faced building one of the few medical practices in Canada specializing in adult autism assessment. His story highlights the urgent need for better access, validation, and understanding for autistic adults who are often overlooked or dismissed.

“Autism isn’t invisible—it’s a visible neuro-minority. People see it, but it’s misunderstood.” – Dr. Gregory Skinner
“Diagnosis is not about weakness—it’s about validation, recognition, and access to support.” – Dr. Gregory Skinner
