Today, you will hear the story of Brian Middleton, a behavior analyst and fellow podcaster. He describes himself as autistic and someone who has a very tender heart. He shares how his experience of being autistic has shaped his early memories and ability to process the world around him…later on, his increased ability to communicate started him on the path of relating to himself and others in more complex ways, and how this new ability to relate also open the door toward that universal experience of suffering.
