Summary

We discuss all things Rain Man—from the plentitude of dad issues to the many things it got wrong about autism—with journalist Eric Michael Garcia. Bonus: We also love on Oliver Sacks super, super hard. Eric's book We Are Not Broken: Changing the Conversation About Autism (https://www.hmhbooks.com/shop/books/Were-Not-Broken/9781328587848) will be out later this year. You can find Eric on Twitter (https://twitter.com/EricMGarcia) here. We made a playlist to accompany this episode! (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6QiQqhSgppoRqfXZgkw7UI?si=yILZPbNWQfujwnwT2rtjkw) It's comprised of songs that come to mind when we all think about this movie. Why Are Dads (https://www.podpage.com/why-are-dads/) is a show in which hosts Sarah Marshall and Alex Steed attempt to understand what the hell it means to be the grown children of dads and other dad-like figures. And, as they do with all difficult subject matter, they do so by looking through a pop culture lens. You can find us on Twitter (https://twitter.com/whyaredads), Instagram (https://instagram.com/whyaredads) and Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/whyaredads). You can find producer and music director Carolyn Kendrick's music here. (fanlink.to/ctuc) She's also on Twitter (https://twitter.com/carekendrick). Fresh Lesh (https://www.freshlesh.com/) produces the beats for our episodes. Abigail Swartz of Gray Day Studio (https://www.graydaystudio.com/) designed our logo!
