The Practice of Being Human

Engaging with Differentness: A Glimpse into our Worlds with Autism


Listen Later

This week, Marta opens up about a subject close to her heart: her brother Mark, and more specifically, his and her family's dance with autism. In this episode, Marta and Fiona explore their experiences having brothers with autism. Autism is often invisible in its nature - until it's very visible - and we hope this conversation offers you a glimpse into the world accessed by families affected by it. While we know not everyone will be touched by autism, we bring this conversation to you because we all engage with differentness. We all have family systems from which we are rooted. May you be enlightened by the joy autism can bring, and softened to hold a little more compassion for those you encounter. As Fiona's mom likes to say, "in a world where you can be anything, be kind." Big love.
