Tune in for a Thought-Provoking Episode on Autism Awareness

by Billy Dees, posted in Media, Podcast, Social Media

We’re excited to invite you to a compelling episode of the Billy Dees Podcast, titled, “A Discussion About Autism in the Wake of RFKjr’s Press Conference.”

Join host Billy Dees, along with our insightful guest co-host Chris Weekly, an advocate for autism awareness, as we dive deep into the recent comments made by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on autism—comments that have ignited a great deal of conversation across various platforms.

Chris shares personal experiences with autism and sheds light on the genetic aspects of the condition. If you’ve ever wondered about the different facets of autism—from the barely noticeable to more pronounced challenges—this episode unpacks it all in a thoughtful manner.

 We believe that many brilliant minds in underrepresented communities might be going unnoticed due to misdiagnosis. We’ll discuss how better understanding can unlock potential and innovation.

Learn how the language surrounding autism impacts public perception, and why it’s essential for society to develop a deeper understanding—not just of autism, but of individuals who live with it.

This episode also tackles the misconceptions around terms like “epidemic,” and what that means for those affected by autism and their families. We explore why people fear certain terminology, and how we can foster a more supportive environment for everyone.

If you are as passionate about making a difference in understanding autism or simply curious about the complexities of neurodevelopmental conditions, you won’t want to miss this conversation. Tune in to hear all this and more, as we offer a sane discussion exploring both sides of RFKjr’s remarks —because that’s what good dialogue is all about!

Join us as we work together to cultivate understanding, empathy, and awareness. Your listenership is more than numbers; it’s about creating a community that thrives on knowledge and kindness.

Thank you, and we can’t wait for you to join us in this important conversation!
