Meet Lisa Blakemore Brown
On this episode of Living With Autism: Polly Tommey and Lisa Blakemore Brown, a psychologist and autism expert, discuss how society’s profound lack of understanding about people with autism has led to the wrongful imprisonment of many. They make a powerful point – are people with autism a danger to society or is society a danger to people suffering from autism?

““How can Dan live with this?” I thought.
In Saving Ben Dan Burns answers that question with rich imagery and dynamic writing. He shows us their world as it rises with hope, circles in confusion, slips out of control, and crashes. They survive; they reach higher ground as Dan doggedly reconstructs his life and Ben’s, pushing through what all parents of autistic children face in raising someone unlike anyone they’ve ever known.”
