Episode 027 - Thriving with Severe Autism at Bittersweet Farms

Bittersweet Farms, established in the mid-1980s in Ohio, is a pioneering model of a farmstead-based residential and day program serving adults with autism complex behavioral needs. In a world where severely autistic adults are routinely rejected from programs, Bittersweet is a rare treasure. We talk with Dustin Watkins, the program's executive director, about the nature of the programs, the benefits of an outdoor, open-space setting for many adults with autism, the meaning and purpose of their physical and creative efforts on the farm, issues around Medicaid ICF and HCBS models, staffing challenges, the community and connection found in programs like Bittersweet, the financial model, and more.
