Levine, the Director of the Jewish Law Institute and Professor of Law at Touro College will join me to share his view about why Justice in Employment for Autistic Adults is one of the key issues of effort, advocacy and discrimination.

Autistic Adults: Media Portrayal or Betrayal?
When the media creates shows like Atypical on Netflix, or the play Music is produced; Autistics have many mixed reactions. Many Autistics feel that the media allows neurotypicals to further stereotype and marginalize Autistics. The attempt to put Autistics in the spotlight might seem like a good idea, but when the shows and plays are put together and produced, they remind Autisitics that neurotypicals are once again planning what the agenda by the standards of people who are not Autistic. Is the media portraying Autistic Adults or betraying us? My guest is Nicola Whiting is an Autistic from the United Kingdom. Nicola will talk about the many issues with how the media depicts Autisitcs, with some thoughts to help the Autisitic community with some of our responses.
