Understanding of autism has grown massively over the last 60 years and will continue for many years to come. With greater understanding comes the development and fine-tuning of strategies known to support autistic people to achieve key life goals.
Our panel reflect on how both education and support into adulthood have changed over the years, exploring not only the good but also the lessons learnt.
Hosted by Helen Ellis with guests Emma Roberts, Josh Fitzgerald and Jason Ferguson.
Produced by The Podcast Company.
