The Autism Chronicles
by Patricia
The Autism Chronicles is a series of heart-felt radio stories from families. Hearing their voices and their stories reminds me of the power of family and community. The Autism Chronicles is hosted by my local National Public Radio station, WBEZ. I particularly appreciated the episode that followed Amy Thompson to her first autism support group meeting. Hearing families offer their support to Amy as she tries to navigate the maze of autism treatment was inspiring. The challenges of autism come through on each of the episodes, along with the joy that each family has for their child’s presence in their family. The stories are fairly short (about 10 minutes each). Take the opportunity to listen if you get the chance.
