#120 - Growing Together: Autism & Neurodiversity with Sheree Sibilly Simmons

Every day, people are misunderstood simply because they experience the world differently. Here on Legal Aid Radio, we’re shining a light on neurodiversity and on how a little understanding can go a long way. As more people hear terms like autism and neurodivergent, there’s still a gap between awareness and true understanding. What does it really mean? And how can we, as a community, respond with empathy instead of assumptions?  On this episode, we’re joined by a powerful voice in this space, parent advocate Sheree Sibilly Simmons, who is working directly with children and families to help bridge that gap, connect people to resources, and remind us all that when we take the time to understand one another, we create stronger, more supportive communities for everyone.
