Ryan get diagnosed with Autism

In February 2024, Ryan Perez discovered that Dr. Gregory Skinner, a Calgary-based family physician specializing in adult autism assessments, offered diagnostic services covered by Alberta Health Care. Unlike publicly funded assessments, which often involve extended waiting periods, Dr. Skinner's services provided a more timely alternative. Ryan proceeded with the necessary steps and received his autism diagnosis in November 2024. This experience underscored for him the importance of accessible diagnostic services and the need for timely support for neurodivergent individuals.
