In this week’s episode, Brain & Life Podcast co-host Dr. Daniel Correa speaks with Khari “Needlz” Cain, music producer and father to Makayla, a 16-year-old on the autism spectrum. Khari and his family recently created a film titled Makayla’s Voice: A Letter to the World that shares her experience finding a way to communicate using letter board therapy. As Makayla’s voice has gradually emerged, she has shown her intelligence, interests, and sense of humor to her loved ones. Khari discusses that journey, the accessibility of treatment, and his hopes for the future. Then Dr. Deepa Menon, a child neurologist and specialist in neurodevelopmental medicine, explains autism, genetic testing, Phelan-McDermid syndrome, and different types of therapies that may help families like Makayla’s.
