062224 Denise Resnik on the Intersection of Autism and Blackness (Part 1)

The first part of today’s episode has us talking with Denise Resnik, the founder and president/CEO of First Place…an enterprise dedicated to helping those with autism transition into a routine-based adult life. As a result of her experience in this field, she is able to have an in-depth conversation about not just the effects of autism on families, communities, and society, but also to give insight into the particular pitfalls and problems that result from the intersection of life as a minority and as a person with autism.
