This episode is one of two dedicated to Autism and the importance of understanding and accepting neurodiversity.

We meet Mamistad Mami, Fabiola, an Astrophysicist by trade. She and her husband learned that their little girl, Elena was Autistic when she was 18 months old. Fabi wanted to learn as much as she could about Autism, and in the process, she learned that she too is Autistic. This knowledge brought her freedom and an understanding and respect for herself and her new community. She shares many of her lessons with us here-including this quote by a 14-year old Autistic person:

Awareness means you know I’m here.
Acceptance means you’re happy to see me.
