Overview

Today the Vice-President of the National Council of Severe Autism, Amy Lutz  and I speak about raising children who are profoundly affected by Autism and how it looks so different from parenting our typically developing children in many ways. We discuss Amy’s books she has written on the topic and touch on some of the controversies surrounding Autism, the neurodiversity movement, and how this impacts those who are significantly affected by Autism.

  • We Walk: Life with Severe Autism (The Culture and Politics of Health Care Work)
