What if autism were not a set of deficits but a different way of being human?

Whether you’re autistic yourself, care for someone who is, or serve autistic individuals as your profession, you’ll want to listen to this episode with Dr. Barry Prizant.

Dr. Barry Prizant is a Speech-Language Pathologist, clinical scholar, consultant, and researcher. He co-developed the SCERTS Model and his book, Uniquely Human: A Different Way of Seeing Autism, has been the best selling book on autism since 2015. Barry also co-hosts Uniquely Human: The Podcast.

This episode is part two of our conversation, and we discuss:

• What inspired Barry to write Uniquely Human
• Why his book is relatable across cultures
• Understanding neurodivergent experiences
• The importance of creating individualized support plans
• Hope for the future of neurodiversity
• Areas of autism research and support that need to change
• Tips for professionals working with autistic individuals and their families
