“How do we break down the barriers?” Anne Borden King, interviewed by Sean Pickard on Voices for Abilities

Noncompliant - the podcast

While the podcast is on a brief hiatus as I finish my book (yay!), I’m sharing this interview that Shawn Pickard hosted with me for Voices for Abilities radio. We discussed how Canadian autism policy needs to move from a charity perspective to a rights perspective and how the inclusion and neurodiversity movements are working for the changes that autistic people & families need.
