Diagnosed with autism later in life, Philip's association with a con artist led to his incarceration and a subsequent prostate cancer diagnosis that went untreated for a year.
Cynthia recounts Philip's early challenges, his strong belief in his inventions, and the dire consequences of misplaced trust.
She also discusses her ongoing advocacy for his compassionate release due to his severe health issues. This episode sheds light on the intersection of autism, criminal justice, and family resilience.
