Adulting with Autism

From Snowy Days to True Crime: Unraveling Secrets in Kentucky


Listen Later

Hey there! How's your weekend going? Can you believe February is flying by already? Here in Kentucky, we're having a weather rollercoaster with snow, spring, and a touch of summer. Personally, I’m so ready for spring - I can't wait to start gardening. Snow? Ugh, I’m over it!

Anyway, I wanted to chat with you about something intriguing. Do you ever find it strange when your folks bomb you with a million questions about your whereabouts? It's like they're super detectives whenever you step out the door. Well, there's a reason for that, and it ties into something bigger—how the world sees autistic individuals, especially when true crime stories hit home.

Let me share with you Alvin Ridley's incredible journey—an autistic man almost wrongfully convicted for murder, just because his behavior was misunderstood. His story is entwined with jaw-dropping courtroom drama, the human condition, and yes, even a sprinkling of humor!

If you're captivated by tales of justice and redemption—or just curious about autism awareness—this episode is one you shouldn't miss. Pour yourself a cup of coffee, settle in, and let’s dive into a story showing why understanding and awareness matter more than ever. Thanks for being here, and enjoy!
