"My initial training in pediatrics was at KFSH & RC, then I moved to the USA where I completed accredited pediatric residency at the University of Minnesota. I moved then to Duke University, North Carolina, where I joined the Pediatric Neurology Fellowship training program. I met Prof. Robert DeLong, who is one of the most prominent clinician and researcher in Autism and worked with him in the Autism Diagnostic Clinic for two years. Upon my return to the Kingdom, I established the Autism clinic at KFSH & RC in addition to my involvement with the Saudi Autism Society, where I was the Medical Director of the Autism Diagnostic Clinic. I now supervise and direct the Early Diagnosis and Intervention Unit at Prince Faisal Bin Fahad’s Mother’s Center for Autism. I have many interests in the field of autism, and work closely with the Saudi Autism Society and PSCDR."
