Episode Description
This week on Autism Spectrum Radio we look at autism from a global perspective. Many times we focus exclusively on the daily challenges of our local communities, but there is a much larger global community of autism. Be it insurance, challenges at school or in the home, these are the typical borders of our autism world. The reality of autism is that it knows no borders. Outside of the US there are millions of individuals who live with autism, with relatively limited access to any form of care. This week, your host Rob Haupt, is very excited to welcome Molly Ola Pinney to the show, Molly is the founder of the Global Autism Project. The Global Autism Project helps provide autism therapy services to individuals in parts of the world that would otherwise not have access to it. Be sure to catch this episode of Autism Spectrum Radio, Tuesday, October 9th at 11 AM.
