Artavia’s Untitled Podcast: My mother on what it’s like to have a son with autism

“Be kind and be accepting of people before you just judge them right away.” 

Producer Artavia Taylor writes:

“I have never had a real in-depth conversation with my mother about what it was like to have her firstborn child be diagnosed with Autism as a baby. In this episode, we talk about her experience raising my older brother, Ryan Taylor, who is now 29 years old and was diagnosed with autism in 1994. It’s an honest, vulnerable conversation about both the very real difficulties and refreshing highlights that come with autism.”
