Episode 3: 250 Years of Freedom. A Century of Understanding Autism
As America celebrates its 250th birthday, we take a look back at another journey that has transformed countless lives: our growing understanding of autism.
In this episode, Jim Gaffney explores how far we’ve come over the past century, from the earliest descriptions of autism to today’s broader understanding of the autism spectrum. Along the way, he reflects on the progress we’ve made, the challenges that remain, and why the future depends on continuing to listen to autistic voices.
You’ll also see exclusive Knowledge Drops and Distance Checks throughout the episode that highlight important milestones, surprising facts, and research about autism in an engaging and easy-to-follow format.
Because while our understanding has grown tremendously, there is still much more to learn, especially about autistic adults.
🎙️ Every mile forward begins with understanding.
