Autistic individuals have always been a part of society. Today, more than ever, the autistic population is highly visible on the public scene. Autistic writers and creators use our unique viewpoints to perceive, interpret, and shape, the world around us. Please enjoy this conversation with Alec Frazier as we discuss autistic writers, creators, and inclusion in today’s entertainment world and society.
