The Autistic Tea Party

This week we had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Author, and Journalist Eric Garcia about the relatively brief but incredibly complicated history of Autism and how we've come to understand it as a collective.  We talk about everything from the anti-vaxx movement and Hans Asperger, to genetic research and the very politics of being Autistic. You're gonna love this one.
