A Different View of the Disability Label

Thru Autistic Eyes Podcast

What does Sam Farmer mean by possibly the label of being disabled as a "regrettable necessity?" Recent events have changed his viewpoint on the meaning of the word, as we discuss how we and society perceives the label in a way many don't necessarily expect. Sam Farmer is a neurodiversity community self-advocate, writer/author, public speaker and consultant for Floreo, a company that leverages virtual reality technology in teaching social, communication and other life skills for neurodiverse individuals. Diagnosed later in life as autistic, he writes blogs and articles, records coaching videos and podcasts, and presents at conferences and support groups, sharing stories and thoughts as to how one can achieve greater happiness and success in the face of challenge and adversity. A Long Walk Down a Winding Road - Small Steps, Challenges, & Triumphs Through an Autistic Lens is his first book.
