Episode 54: The First Gifts of Autism with Jacqueline Johnson
In this episode Jacqueline and I talk about her book entitled "The First Gifts of Autism". I was truly moved and inspired by this book as a parent and an educator. Meeting with Jacqueline proved to emphasize how we can all look at autism with a different lens and create a more inclusive and accepting world for all of us with differences. Jacqueline Johnson is a wife and homeschooling mother of three daughters. She has twins, who are both on the Autism Spectrum and she currently lives in St. Louis, Missouri where she is working on The Next Gifts of AutismYou can connect with Jacqueline at privybooks@gmail.com or on social media @TheFirstsGiftsofAutism
