This week we're discussing chapter 10 from Uniquely Human by Dr. Barry Prizant. This chapter is called "The Long View" and describes the stories of multiple autistic people and their families from early childhood through young adulthood. This chapter is filled with hopeful stories about families overcoming adversity and persevering. It tells of some professionals who made a world of difference, and some who needed to be left behind. This chapter can help us, as SLPs, understand that each family is different and has its own set of values and priorities. We also discuss the importance of disclosure and how to approach the topic with parents when they are opposed to speaking with their children about autism. We hope you enjoy our discussion!
