Life with Profound Autism, Part 2 with Eileen Lamb


Listen Later

Discover what’s possible when you acknowledge those who can’t speak for themselves.

Does the social model of disability work for people with profound autism?

Stay with us if you’d like to hear Eileen Lamb, an Autistic Self-Advocate and the mother of a boy with profound autism, share her ideas on this topic.

This episode is part 2 of my conversation with Eileen, and we also discuss:

  • Her role as the Senior Director of Social Media at Autism Speaks
  • The controversy around Autism Speaks and how this organization has evolved in the last decade
  • Why Eileen thinks it’s important to make a distinction between different degrees of autism
  • Black-and-white thinking
  • Eileen’s tips for other autistic self-advocates
  • To learn more about Eileen Lamb and her advocacy work, please visit The Autism Cafe.
