Jacki Edry on Autistic Radio

Episode Summary: “Advocacy – Autism, Authors, Parents, Allies”

I recently had the pleasure of joining Jules on Autistic Radio – Spectrum Voices, Episode #27. In this deeply personal conversation, I share my journey as a parent to neurodivergent children, my experiences recovering from a major brain surgery, and the ongoing process of discovering and embracing my own neurodistinct identity.

We spoke about neuroplasticity, growth, and how meaningful change unfolds over time. We also dove into an important and sometimes difficult topic: Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)—and why I believe it can be harmful for many who undergo it.
