  • On this week's (very late) episode, Stacy and Torrin talk about autism.Yes, that's what we do every episode, but today, we discussed the shame and fear people have when talking about autism. Often, parents and family members are hesitant to reveal their child's autism diagnosis, even if doing so would help everyone involved. We got to the root of the problem. Why are people ashamed and hesitant? How can we fix that? ***
