Description
Navigating Stories of Autism: Lives Without a Compass. Exploring the stories and experiences of autism through an engaging podcast format. S1. E1. n1. of the Otherness Podcast. Dr. Todd Peter Levine is the host of the Otherness Podcast. He is a psychiatrist who treats people with autism in a compassionate manner that started with his life as the older sibling of his brother with autism. The show is not about medical information or research, but rather about navigating and engaging autism through experienced stories that come from his life and the life of others. Todd begins the journey on this episode to talk about his approach to sharing stories and how to integrate them into an engaging and meaningful experience. “This is a narrator and curator and not just a doctor.” “I want it to be an organic, living thing that is generated from my lifelong history with autism, starting as a child with a brother on the spectrum.” This episode is co-hosted with my old friend, Loren Weisman. We met at a summer camp in Massachusetts called Camp Frank A Day and then lost touch, even though we grew up within 45 minutes of each other. I ended up going to college in the town of Amherst, Massachusetts where Loren grew up before he went to school in Boston. Loren’s approach to authentic and sincere messaging lead us back to talking and working together many years later This approach to move to stories and bring a greater understanding and healing as a whole over trying to solve it is an important cornerstone of this podcast.
