Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!Many thanks to journalist Eric Garcia, author of "We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation," for joining me on this episode of The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner!  I heard Eric speak on another podcast, "Uniquely Human,” named after the best-selling book by autism specialist Barry Prizant. Eric is a successful journalist who covers Washington, DC. He is the Washington Bureau Chief of "The Independent."  Eric knows the political scene inside and out. He's exceptionally knowledgeable about how legislation affects people with disabilities, and more specifically, people like himself who are autistic. Eric has become the "go-to guy" for fellow journalists regarding questions about autism. During our 35-minute conversation, Eric emphasized that autism research should not focus on vaccines, which have already been proven not to cause autism. Instead, funding should be directed to help people with autism lead more fulfilling lives. Eric also self-identifies as a person with autism. Due to sensory processing issues, he doesn't drive a car. Eric also has trouble in noisy, crowded places and consequently waits until after rush hour before taking public transportation to work. He also still struggles with socialization. We also discussed how certain of his autistic traits have facilitated his career.  To hear more about what Eric's thoughts about autism, check out his book, "We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation."Please click "Fanmail" and share your feedback!If you enjoy an episode, please share with friends and colleagues.

We talk with Eric Garcia, author of We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation and a political reporter at the Independent, about the myths spreading about autism under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Yes, there's the one about how vaccines cause autism, which the scientific community has rejected. But there's also a more fundamental one that Kennedy references often: Is there, as he repeats, an “autism epidemic”? And if not, what explains the dramatic rise in reported cases of autism over the last few decades? Garcia also recounts his own story growing up autistic in the age of exploding diagnoses, and landing now in a moment where, for his job, he covers a health secretary's particular brand of concern.   Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

When you are excited about something, how do you show up?Do you wear excitement and passion on your sleeve for all to see? Maybe your personality is more low-key and strategic, and it is less obvious when you're really excited about an idea, a vision, or being a part of something.Or maybe you adapt and edit yourself, muting your responses to play it cool for fear you won't be taken seriously. Yes, it's essential to consider your role, environment, and audience when you feel energized about something. But if we're constantly focused on who we should be, how we should act, and what the right thing to say is, it's hard to have hope and a vision for the future. Meg Raby Klinghoffer does not feel weighed down by messages about playing it cool and downplaying her excitement and joy anymore. She is emphatically all in with helping others envision how the spaces where we live, work, and play can be inclusive for those with invisible disabilities. She is becoming a contagion to create spaces where we can all be welcome and feel comfortable being ourselves, from concerts to museums to schools and beyond.Meg is the author of the My Brother Otto series, a Speech-Language Pathologist, a writer for Scary Mommy, and a full-time employee of KultureCity, the nation's leading nonprofit in sensory inclusion. She is also autistic. At any given moment, Meg is thinking about how to better love the humans around her and how to create positive change without causing division.Listen to the full episode to hear:How receiving an autism diagnosis and owning that identity has allowed Meg to advocate for herself more freelyHow to respectfully approach learning more about and supporting the autistic adults in your lifeHow having an autistic community helped Meg let go of old rules and embrace her identityHow KultureCity addresses the need for macro-level change to make spaces more supportive and inclusiveMeg's vision for moving beyond awareness or acceptance to true inclusionLearn more about Meg Raby Klinghoffer:KultureCityScary MommyInstagram: @author.meg.rabyLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:Somebody's Daughter: A Memoir, Ashley C FordKamala Harris and the Threat of a Woman's Laugh - Sophie Gilbert, The AtlanticWe're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation, Eric GarciaYung PuebloPost Malone - Hollywood's BleedingLauren Daigle - Rescue3 Body ProblemThe Jacksons: An American Dream

What does it mean to you to be broken? To be normal? And who gets to decide what it means to be broken or whole?We live in a culture obsessed with fixing anything deemed broken - from stuff to people.We need to create spaces where we do not see difference as broken.And we do this by not settling for our current ways of navigating our discomfort with difference while pushing back on the burdened definition of what is normal and what is broken.But inclusion is inconvenient. It is also uncomfortable. And awkward. Facing your discomfort with difference and neurodivergence means facing your ableism. Which is why I was so excited and honored to talk with today's guest. His book is a beautiful testament to so those with neurodivergence and other intersectional identities that have been marginalized. It is written beautifully and is now my number one recommend when people ask for a book to read about autism.Eric Garcia is the senior Washington correspondent for the Independent and the author of the book We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation. He is also a columnist for MSNBC. He previously worked as an assistant editor at the Washington Post's Outlook section and an associate editor at The Hill, as well as a correspondent for National Journal, MarketWatch, and Roll Call.

Your Heard Tell for Tuesday, August the 30th, 2022 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern the time we live in by dealing with some economic headlines and issues from the president to your own pocketbook. Our guest Sean-Michael Pigeon talks how the consumer side of the economy, and the consumers themselves, ought to be the focus of practical, non-partisan policy but the rhetoric and politics of the day hurt the consumers most. Sean talks about what is, and what isn't, the president's fault when it comes to the economy, how the White House's messaging matters a great deal, and how things like gas prices and baby formula shortage show both the consequences and limitations of government on the economy. Also we talk regulation and how dynamic an economy affects folks more, how the velocity of money and inertia of the regulatory state are a constant reality that we don't talk about enough, and don't always fit into a soundbite or narrative.Then, we review a part of our latest Heard Tell Podcast with guest journalist and author Eric Garcia where we talk about Autism issues from portrayals in media, to how news media covers Autistic folks, to how we talk about disabilities in general. Eric talks about how it is important to keep the people themselves front and center so that policy, portrayals, and the discussions about them are helping open opportunities and awareness. Eric talks about his book We Are Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation and covering folks on the spectrum, what to make of Autistic folks on reality TV shows, needs in education and policymaking, and letting folks with Autism not only be portrayed but also become the content makers themselves. Also, Eric and host Andrew delve into the resurgence in anti-vax advocates who use Autism as a weapon in their rhetoric to the detriment and denigration of the Autism community and the decline in vaccinations that we are now seeing in the return of polio and other diseases.All that and more on this Wednesday edition of Heard Tell.-------------------Questions, comments, concerns, ideas, or epistles?

Also, with the paperback edition of his great book We Are Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation now out we talk about media portrayals and news headlines and narratives surround folks on the spectrum, and how those not on it should be talking, setting policy, and dealing with a community that is more and more visable and expanding how they want to define themselves. All that and more on this episode of the Heard Tell podcast.--------------------Questions, comments, concerns, ideas, or epistles?

Living with autism can be difficult, and in the past, the prevailing attitude was to find ways to fix or cure autism. But that idea is changing. “For too long, we have been forced to navigate a world where all the road signs are written in another language,” writes author and journalist Eric Garcia. Garcia is autistic. In this episode, we talk with current autism advocates who argue that the way to make life better for autistic people is not to force them to fit into the world but to help the world fit them. Guests: Emily Grodin and Valerie Gilpeer, co-authors of “I Have Been Buried Under Years of Dust.” Eric Garcia, journalist, author of ‘We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation.” Monique Botha, community psychologist, and researcher at the University of Stirling Sarah and Larry Nannery, co-authors of “What to Say Next: Successful Communication in Work, Life and Love with Autism Spectrum Disorder.”

As Garcia, who is himself on the spectrum, writes in these pages: "This book is a message from autistic people to their parents, friends, teachers, coworkers, and doctors showing what life is like on the spectrum. It's also my love letter to autistic people. For too long, we have been forced to navigate a world where all the road signs are written in another language." Further, per a review of Garcia's volume in The Washington Post: "Outstanding.... Garcia's book uses rich storytelling and insightful reporting to uncover not only the long history of how autistic people have been mistreated but also how they continue to be ignored.... [This] is exactly the book we need to lead the way in changing the autism conversation. It belongs on the shelf next to 'NeuroTribes' as essential reading on autism and neurodiversity."

Eric Michael Garcia is an autistic journalist whose new book is We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation. Garcia is the senior Washington correspondent for The Independent, following editorial roles at the Washington Post and The Hill. He's also been a correspondent for National Journal, MarketWatch, and Roll Call, and has written for The Daily Beast, The New Republic, and Salon.com. As a child, he was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, which is now diagnosed under the broader ASD (autism spectrum disorder). We talked about the history of the autism diagnosis, how it has evolved, how the language around it has changed, and how autistic people are using social media (like the #ActuallyAutistic hashtag on Twitter) to speak out in a media ecosystem that historically marginalized or ignored them.

Political journalist Eric Garcia discusses the many myths surrounding autism, why the right terminology is important, and how we can strike a balance between giving autistic people support to function in a neurotypical world and respecting who they are as individuals. His new book is We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation.

A neurodivergent person is one whose neurological development is atypical. People with ADHD, Aspergers, and autism are generally considered to be neurodivergent. It is common for neurotypical thinkers to misunderstand those with neurodivergent perspectives in social interactions and in the workplace. To discover more about how and why we should embrace neurodiversity immediately, Positive Psychology Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with two authors who are experts on living with neurodivergent perspectives. As one of the first children to be diagnosed with ADHD, Joe Newman understands the misdirection of labels. He describes how he overcame them and how he helps parents foster a growth mindset by way of his acclaimed parenting methods as detailed in his book, Raising Lions. And, Eric Garcia recounts his research about living with autism in the United States. The research, originally part of a magazine article, led to his breakthrough book, We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation.

Journalist Eric Garcia talks about his new book, We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation.

The social media age has given an opportunity for folks who otherwise might not have a voice to join the wider world. But with that increased awareness comes increased debate over how to cover a community as diverse as the Autism spectrum, how to effectively help them, and which voices need to be heard. Our friend Eric Garcia used his own frustration at the media's coverage of Autism, and his own experience both as a journalist and as someone who is Autistic, to write a book discussing the social and policy gaps that exist in supporting and giving voice to folks on the spectrum. We ask him how something like Autism becomes a political and cultural issue in the first place, talk about the amazing people he covers in the book that put human stories to the terminology, how terminology often hurts more than helps understanding Autism, and what does giving voice and awareness to Autistic people mean policy-wise going forward. His book is titled "We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation" and we are thrilled to talk about it and the issues it covers with him on this episode of Heard Tell.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/heard-tell/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
