Julie M. Green
from My Life In Books with Red Szell · host Julie M. Green
A decade after learning that her son is autistic, writer Julie M. Green received her own diagnosis, shedding light on a lifetime of feeling othered and misunderstood. In Motherness: A Memoir of Generational Autism, Parenthood, and Radical Acceptance, Julie offers an unflinchingly honest and profoundly compassionate account of raising a neuro-diverse child while processing her own presence "on the spectrum". With more girls and women being diagnosed, many of them later in life, Julie argues that the face of autism is changing – and not before time. Join Julie and Red as they debunk some stereotypes and explore the psychology behind Autistic Spectrum Disorder and its presentation in different groups of people.
