In his spare time Dr. Bob enjoys surfing the California waves, mountain biking, playing bass guitar with his teenage son guitarist, and trying to keep up with his three children.
I conduct a follow up discussion with Dr. Paul Law about the Interactive Autism Network (IAN). My first podcast with Dr. Law took place three years ago when the program was in its infancy.
Dr. Law also has a son with autism.
We discuss some of the latest studies that have come forth from IAN as well as where it might all lead to in the future.
More about IAN from their Website:
The Interactive Autism Network (IAN) is an innovative online project bringing together tens of thousands of people nationwide affected by autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and hundreds of researchers in a search for answers.
More About Dr. Law:
Paul Law, MD, MPH, MS, FAAP, Director
Paul Law is IAN’s Director. When he was in medical school at Johns Hopkins University, his son was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS). Since then, Paul’s goal has been to develop shared resources that facilitate autism research.
Dr. Law earned his MD from Johns Hopkins University in 1997 and received a MPH degree from the JHU School of Public Health in the year prior. He completed his pediatric residency in 2000 and a health informatics fellowship in 2005 – both at Johns Hopkins. Dr. Law is a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Medical Informatics Association, and Delta Omega, the Honorary Society in Public Health.
Episode 64 : I speak with Dr. Mike, the host and producer of the popular podcast, Pediacast. It was a nice chance to talk to a pediatrician long after my son was diagnosed with autism. I wanted to ask him about how pediatricians look at autism today and if they are more effective at spotting it early.
