Join Amanda and Leta sit down with Kara Nash, a registered nurse who is also autistic, to discuss various aspects of autism from a medical perspective. From the importance of stimming and the misunderstanding of autistic meltdowns to the flaws in school systems and special education, the episode covers a wide range of significant topics. Kara shares her expertise on why typical punitive measures are ineffective and harmful for autistic individuals, and the discussion delves the necessity for a better understanding and acceptance of different neurotypes in all walks of life. (With a focus on dance, of course.) With personal anecdotes and professional insights, this episode is a comprehensive resource for parents, educators, and anyone interested in autism advocacy.
