  • Twenty Fourth Night at the Brown Table
    We have a chat with Neomai Kami & Tango about a video that circulated on social media recently. In this video, a child was 'rag-dolled' off a McDonald's counter by a man who was not his caregiver. Strong opinions were expressed in support of what this man did. However, not everyone agrees.
    Neo and Tango express their views on the video and share their experiences with loved ones who are Autistic. We get a glimpse into their world and leave with a little more understanding.
