The Counter Narrative: Changing the Way We Talk (and think) About Education
Based on the best-selling book by Ellen Notbohm, this episode provides a frank discussion on the gap between what we say and what we do. Yes, we say (and honestly believe) that all students can and deserve to learn and yet, due to a myriad of reasons, we often fail to deliver on this. While our general education students who fit traditional models of learning excel, many groups of students struggle to keep up if not fall behind all together. Listen as I share the 10 things that every child with autism wishes you knew as I connect it back to my own experiences both as an educator and as a grandfather. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thecounternarrative/support

Have you ever wondered how to explain autism to your kids? Have you ever wanted to support an autistic family and not known how? Are you the one who has a child on the autism spectrum and has struggled with how to let others know how they can support you? Then this episode is for you! In this episode, I reference two books that I have found to be very helpful. 10 Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew by Ellen Notbohm and (dis)Abilities in the Gospel by Danyelle Ferguson and Lynn Parsons. If you are a mother of an autistic child and would like to share your story, come write a book with me! I'm working with Keira Poulsen on writing and publishing a collaborative book. My hope is that it will be a survival guide for all those that just got their child's diagnosis and don't know where to turn.

When Annie Rushton heads west to keep house for her older brother on his Montana homestead, she expects to leave marriage and motherhood behind her. After all, the husband she walked out on at twenty, after the birth of their daughter sent her into a spiral of panic and depression, has divorced her and forbidden contact with their baby, citing fears for his own and the child’s safety. In 1911, a record like that should keep most men at bay. Adam Fielding also has no interest in marriage, but he’s drawn to Annie from the start, despite the frequent clashes of will between them. When her older brother sells them the homestead and skips town, Annie and Adam settle into a partnership that is as economically successful as it is romantic. But fate intervenes to prevent them from having a child, and with each disaster the return of Annie’s depression drives her farther apart from the husband she loves. In a world that understands psychological conditions as lapses in morality, the judgment passed on Annie is harsh and unyielding. Yet somehow she manages to hold on to hope. Ellen Notbohm’s thought-provoking and beautifully written debut novel, The River by Starlight (She Writes Press, 2018), dives into the depths of family life and individual psychosis and uncovers a cast of complex and compelling characters that will keep you entranced to the last page. C. P. Lesley is the author of seven novels, including Legends of the Five Directions (The Golden Lynx, The Winged Horse, The Swan Princess, and The Vermilion Bird), a historical fiction series set in 1530s Russia, during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible.

Autism Village founder Topher Wurts says that with a special needs diagnosis, a parent's “imaginary future child” dies all at once instead of by a thousand cuts over twenty years. In today's show, Topher shares his family's caregiving journey with son Kirby, who was diagnosed with autism at eighteen months old. From altered careers and tricky social situations, to the all-autistic Boy Scout troop Kirby thrives in and balancing time with neurotypical son, Zandy, celebrating each day is what this family is all about. Topher also tells us how he used his background in tech media to develop Autism Village, a free, Yelp-like mobile app for autism families, and how his non-profit Autism Friendly is training businesses to better serve clients on the autism spectrum.To purchase a transcript of this episode please visit this page: TranscriptsAutism Village (free app)Training for businesses:Additional Resources: “Born on a Blue Day” by Daniel Tammet“Ten Things Every Child With Autism Wishes You Knew” by Ellen NotbohmBooks by Temple GrandinLearn about jazz pianist Matt Savage
