Today’s episode is inspired by some, not so positive, characters from the history of neurodivergence. There is no evidence to support a link between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and a predisposition to delinquency, crime, or "evil" behavior, however in the quest to advance understanding of neurodivergence, treatment, and lives there have been a lot of mis-steps and horrible approaches. Do you know the history of the puzzle piece? ABA? We’ll give you some background to further understand and make your own decisions.
