The Biggest Autism Lie - Low functioning Autism

Описание: With more than 200,000 followers across social media, Betsy Hicks-Russ has cultivated a powerful community grounded in advocacy and hope. She is the co-host of The Telepathy Tapes: Now What? on YouTube and the host of The Presume Competence Series on the Autism Odyssey podcast — where she brings together leading voices to challenge outdated therapies, unpack the realities of apraxia, and confront the science that continues to shape harmful narratives around non-speakers. These conversations don’t stop at research and reform; they invite us into a larger perspective — one that calls for spiritual expansion, awakened conscience, and a deeper reimagining of what it means to truly communicate and connect.

Betsy is the Director of Autism Odyssey and the visionary behind the Be Kind Vest movement and above all, she is a mother. Her son Joe is the heartbeat of this mission. Every step forward is guided by devotion and by a deep love for caregivers walking this path. She speaks from lived experience — from inside the arena — with clarity, conviction, and care.

This Episode is all about her journey to getting to a place where she can have meaningful 'conversations' with her child. How she had to unlearn and rebuild herself to get here - her child's best life!
