Om episode
Ready for our newest book club? We discussed Steve Silberman's book "Neurotribes" for over two hours. And that still doesn't cover everything we wanted to get to! Whether viewed as a history of society's relationship with autism, an acknowledgment of autism's place in history, or a look into the future of neurodiversity, we've got hot takes from all angles. Join Rob, Diana, Jackie, and Alan as we celebrate the unsung heroes of autism research, bemoan the role of toxic personalities in holding back autism treatment, and discuss what it all means for us behavior analysts in providing strength-based, person-focused supports. The full recording is only available for our $10 and up patrons and includes 2 learning credits at no additional charge. Enjoy this preview of our opening thoughts on the book.
