This week we're discussing chapters eight and nine from Uniquely Human by Dr. Barry Prizant. Chapter eight, "Wisdom from the Circle" is really a chapter for parents, but we can get so much out of it in terms of perspective. All families handle autism differently and we need to have empathy, support them in an understanding way, and join them on their journey. This chapter is full of advice for parents about who to surround themselves with, what to put their time and effort into, and when to ignore the opinions of others. In chapter nine, "The Real Experts," Dr. Barry describes three of his friends, autistic adults who are making a big impact in the autism world. They each have a different perspective to offer, and we learned a lot from their stories.
