#08 Color from an Autistic Perspective: Getting to know the Spectrum, an interview with Marlene Gómez Aizpuru
With an experience of over 20 years in psychology treating children and young adults in the autistic spectrum, Marlene Gómez Aizpuru, an autistic adult herself, opens a window to the autistic spectrum by sharing her personal and professional experience on how color influences and might affect children in the spectrum through the course of their daily lives. Intended to provide awareness rather than being a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, this interview longs for understanding and empathy for children in the autistic spectrum. It is important that you speak with your healthcare provider or child’s pediatrician about how to treat him or her personally regarding light and color perception as just each person may have a different visual experience and/or their perception of light sensitivity might be triggered by various factors and therefore different treatments may be recommended.
