  • Episode 309

    I just listened to episode of 309 and I am so thankful that these conversations are being had. It was an eye opening conversation because it provided examples of how misinterpretation of behaviors can have adverse and sometimes deadly effects on people who have autism. Autism training and awareness should be required in law enforcement.
