Many thanks to Alex Astrella for joining me on Episode #176 of The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner.


Alex was diagnosed with autism at age 2, had years of ABA therapy, and eventually became a certified ABA therapist himself. He combined his love of filmmaking with his identity as a neurodivergent individual and formed Blu Star Production, a film company, which is owned and operated by those on the spectrum.


We had a great discussion. Tune in if you would like to learn more about autism and filmmaking!
