First person diagnosed with autism dies 89

In this heartfelt and historic episode, we reflect on the life and legacy of the first person diagnosed with autism in Mississippi, who has passed away at the age of 89. His diagnosis in 1938 marked a pivotal moment in the early recognition of autism spectrum disorder, at a time when understanding was minimal and stigma was high.

Dan, who is autistic and also lives with ADHD and OCD, shares the powerful story of how this man's journey helped shape awareness of autism in adults, long before terms like Asperger’s or neurodivergence were widely known. This episode is both a tribute and a reminder of how far the autism community has come—and how much further we still need to go.

💬 If you're someone exploring a late autism diagnosis, navigating autism in adulthood, or simply wanting to learn more about the history of autism, this is a must-listen episode that brings context, compassion, and connection.
