In this episode of TELOS: A Neurodiversity Conversation, Aeris sits down with Dr. Christopher Scott Wyatt: educator, researcher, father, and writer of The Autistic Me blog.

They talk about Dr. Wyatt’s journey through diagnosis, his decades of advocacy and teaching, and the challenges and strengths of autistic life. The conversation also takes on today’s pressing issues: how autism and disability rights face the risk of backsliding in schools, workplaces, and policy, and what parents, youth, and allies can do to protect those gains.
