Grown In Autism. Brothers sharing a family experience.
Todd and his brother, Evan, share their unique experiences and feelings about growing up with Jay, their youngest brother with autism, for S1. E3. N3. of the Otherness Podcast: Grown In Autism. Brothers sharing a family experience.
Todd invites his brother, Evan, to share experiences about how life was enjoyed and shaped with growing up with their youngest brother, Jay, who has found a vibrant life in his journey with autism.
Todd and Evan grew up in a small town in Western Massachusetts and were indoctrinated into the world of autism with the arrival of their youngest brother, Jay, who was diagnosed with autism at an early age. The intimacy that Jay promoted (and sometimes demanded) lead to the creation of a family communication style which emphasized togetherness through struggles and triumphs. Todd and Evan share many life lessons they learned from Jay which included how to be one true self, stay genuine in friendship, to separate with both sadness and compassion, and how an entire community can come to someone’s aid. The intensity of a life shared with Jay’s often unfiltered perspective lead to great moments of happiness as well as trying moments of helplessness and sadness. It is impossible to define Jay’s autism as it is interwoven with his vibrant personality. Todd and Evan have incorporated their brother into their lives in a way that presents autism as an asset that is very much alive.
