“As a parent of a woman with autism in her late 20’s, this podcast was both necessary and difficult to listen to. Audrey Quinn was a great narrator and was spot on in so many respects, including capturing the tendency of “experts” to be condescending and dismissive towards families.
I also...”Read full review »

“As a mother to an individual with autism, this story terrified me and made me reach out to local police to see what, if any, kind of training police officers are receiving with regard to dealing with people with disabilities. Great story, great reporting.”

“This story is incredibly important and unfortunately far too representative of what people with disabilities face across our country. I’m happy that this story is told on this format, but as a special education teacher, I was disappointed by some of the language and messages used by Audrey Quinn....”Read full review »

“This journalist is also a human being. Yet it doesn’t interfere with journalistic integrity. She’s a bulldog for facts in this case.
