One Free Family

James is joined by Sylvia van Meerten, an incredible woman who is widely respected for her work with and thoughts about working with people with an autism diagnosis. In this episode she shares some mind-blowing observations about ways we can better understand and connected with people with autism, and both she and James talk about how, really, most of these principles can carry over into our work with all sorts of kids. Working with people with autism diagnosis often comes down to better understanding them and putting oneself in their shoes (to the degree that it's possible), and really, that's what working with kids is all about too.
