Episode 2: The Universality of Autism


What is a Spectrum?


  • Autism is an extreme expression of truly universal characteristics upon which we are all judged
    • Restrictive & repetitive behavior, both physical and cognitive
    • Ability to express ourselves through language, both verbal and physical
    • Ability to maneuver through a complex social environment without stepping on toes or offending others (assuming the mental state of others)
  • Fabrication of vaccine-autism study raises ire
    • MMR explanation for autism development continues to not be true
