Episode #029 - Just Say No to the Bullying of Autism Parents

Pioneering autism advocate Thomas McKean joins us again (he first appeared in Ep 13) to discuss the bizarre online phenomenon of anti-parent bullying by militant autism self-advocates. Like witch hunts of yore, autism parents are too often accused, without evidence, of all manner of sins: torturing their children, infantilizing them, of self-aggrandizement, of ableism, eugenics, and more. Tom McKean says "Enough!" to this nonsense in an emotional discussion with NCSA's Jill Escher. Please listen to the very end for Tom's gorgeous, spontaneous soliloquy about the profound love autism parents have for their children.
