Autism, America, and the Politics of Nonsense... with guest Christy Russell

I have my friend Christy with me on the podcast today and we are discussing Autism, RFK, and the incredibly misinformed and dehumanizing rhetoric and statements that are being spread in the media currently, as well as some other really horrifying things that are happening...

This is so important to make sure the RIGHT message gets out. 

Autism DOES NOT destroy families. 

Autistic people are NOT damaged. 

So much of what is happening right now is complete and utter insanity. It's hard to believe it's real AND this isn't a time to ignore that it's happening and pretend like it's not. 

I would love for you to share this episode to anyone who needs to hear it. 

Christy's app - Experiential Life

will be available any day now to download so if you have an autistic child, you can use it to connect you with the right resources and support you need. 

ABOUT CHRISTY:

Christy Russell is a self diagnosed AuDHD mom to 3 young men, and her youngest is an autistic teen. She's spent the last decade as a healthcare and disability advocate working inside the systems that support people with disabilities. She's taken a leap to address the number one issues families like hers complain about - the lack of a single online space to find trusted information, resources, community, and support for families raising neurodivergent children. Experiential Life is a mobile app that brings organizations, agencies, professionals, and providers to families - so they don't have to spend hours searching... And it includes a community forum that is a cross between Facebook and Reddit, but all contained within the privacy of the community.
