From scripting Lion King movies to theater therapy, and what he wishes every newly diagnosed family knew. He covers the real difference between speech and communication, how to lean into a child's interests, behind-the-scenes stories from Love on the Spectrum, the autism employment crisis, housing for adults, and why your emotions as a caregiver are completely valid.
