Disability Inclusion: Required - Episode 22 - Amplifying Autistic Perspectives and Protecting Community Well-Being with Eric Garcia
This episode discusses the current landscape of discrimination against individuals with autism. Eric Garcia, a journalist and author, describes how anti-vaccine sentiment from high-level government officials like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is fueling misinformation and harmful policies that threaten the rights and well-being of autistic people. Garcia emphasizes the importance of including diverse autistic voices to challenge harmful narratives, and provides advice for autistic individuals and advocates on how to protect themselves and mobilize their communities during this challenging time. The discussion underscores the need to combat dangerous myths about autism and to ensure the rights and dignity of all autistic people are upheld.Our podcast theme music is by Andre Louis (https://onj.me/) and Precious Perez (https://preciousperezmusica.com/). Thank you to Recording Artists And Music Professionals With Disabilities (RAMPD) (https://rampd.org/) for connecting these talented disabled musicians with the Disability & Philanthropy Forum.
