Leland Vittert: Unmasking Autism Later in Life | The Sage Steele Show | EP 94

from The Sage Steele Show

I finally sat down in person with Leland Vittert, and while we both have some pretty fabulous hair, it's what's under the surface that left me truly moved. Most of you know him as a fearless News Nation anchor and former Fox News correspondent, but today we're talking about his raw and powerful new book, "Born Lucky." In this episode, Leland opens up about his lifelong journey with autism and a severe learning disability that once led a principal to tell his parents he was "weird" and had no future. We dive deep into the psychology of resiliency, the sacrifices of a father who worked the "night shift" just to hold his son's hand through adversity, and the incredible discipline it takes to navigate the world when your brain is wired differently.
