Summary

Maybe it’s the lousy Smarch weather, but we’re in a bit of a mood to start of this month. Not because our special guests aren’t awesome. We had so much fun learning about qualitative analyses in exploring RBT burnout with Dr. Nicole Gravina and how to be more ethically responsible in creating meaningful goals for autistic adolescents and adults with Dr. Shanna Bahry. And not because we’re not reviewing tough issues like turnover in human services, deconstructing ableist practices in the medical model, and respectfully disagreeing with the abolitionist neurodiversity critique. Now that I’m writing about all the awesome episodes coming out this month, I can’t even remember why we sound so crabby.

Oh, right…the state of the United States political system. And rude emails.
