Podcasts about we're not broken changing

Eric Garcia grew tired of seeing narrow-minded portrayals of autism on television and in film, while his own life as an autistic person looked entirely different. His career as a journalist and writer led him to publishing We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation — an investigation into the complex realities of life on the spectrum

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. He has also written for the Daily Beast, the New Republic, and Salon.com. Garcia is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.Listen to the full episode to hear:How Eric connected the dots between bad or debunked ideas about autism and bad public policy around autism and neurodivergenceWhy Eric maintained a journalist's approach to his book, rather than writing a personal memoirHow a chance conversation led to Eric's wrestling with his fear of being “outed” and internalized ableismHow Eric navigated consent and inspiration or pity “porn” when sharing other autistic people's storiesHow Eric has recontextualized the asterisks on his successes and taken ownership of his accomplishmentsLearn more about Eric Garcia:WebsiteTwitter: @EricMGarciaWe're Not Broken: Changing the Autism ConversationLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:Electable: Why America Hasn't Put a Woman in the White House . . .

Continuing St. Louis Public Radio political correspondent Jason Rosenbaum's partnership with Left Bank Books, Rosenbaum talks with journalist Eric Michael Garcia about his new book "We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation."

Frustration over the media's coverage of autism, myths surrounding the disability, and policies shaped by society's misconceptions have prompted a journalist to try to change perceptions. We'll speak with Eric Michael Garcia, author of “We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation.”

The title of journalist Eric Garcia's book, We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation , says it all: People with autism don't need to be fixed.

Renowned political journalist, advocate and author of WE'RE NOT BROKEN: Changing the Autism Conversation, Eric Garcia, discusses his life-long journey with autism and highlights the social and policy gaps that exist when supporting those on the spectrum.

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.

Life with autism is a spectrum of abilities — and it doesn't need to be fixed. Eric Garcia (pictured)is an autistic journalist, and he joins Krys Boyd to talk about what autism is and isn't, how it's portrayed, and the support systems that are currently failing. His book is called “We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation.”
