Dr. Marc Hurlbert from the Melanoma Research Alliance, helps us better understand the disease.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
American’s understanding and acceptance of the idea of being on the Autism Spectrum has changed dramatically over the last decade or two. The Autism Society of America has been at the center of that push for change……I discussed those changes with Joseph Joyce, President and CEO of the Autism Society of America AND April was Parkinson’s Awareness Month, and for millions of people, this isn’t just a headline—it’s daily life.

April is Autism Awareness; some call it Autism Acceptance Month. But today we’re discussing a different kind of story about Autism. It’s a story, about being on the spectrum, but also about family love, resilience, perseverance and how to handle bullying - while not allowing society to define you who are. I discussed with Leland Vittert…..a journalist……host of On Balance on NewsNation and co-author of: Born Lucky: A Dedicated Father, A Grateful Son, and My Journey with Autism See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
