This story from the NPR radio program This American Life includes a story of a mother who tries to drum up community support for her son, who has autism. However, the community is not very receptive to the idea, which raises the question: what can be done to increase community awareness and acceptance of individuals with disabilities?
From the website:
Reporter Ruth Padawer tells the story of a woman goes to her neighbors with an incredible request—to help care for her son after she dies—and is shocked by their response. Ruth Padawer writes for the New York Times Magazine and teaches at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism. (16 minutes)
