Episode notes

Some of the ways that people who are asperger are different don't really work or aren't functional, sometimes in society. And one of the problems that causes is what we see in like the unemployment rate for people who reach adulthood who are on the spectrum. We tried to kind of change that as a society, change how we approach that or offer opportunity.

On the 20th anniversary of 9/11 we discuss the tragically beautiful Academy Award nominated film Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. In this episode we discuss the unique journey of Oskar Schell as he processes the life changing event of losing the person who understood him best in the world while simultaneously living through the collective trauma of the September 11th attacks. We are joined by special guests Dr. David Paltin who is an expert in Neuro-Atypical Presentations and Andrew Rubin who is the president of Symptom Media.
