When it comes to autism, there is no one-size-fits-all experience. Often, media coverage and education policies can make it seem that way.
Journalist Eric Garcia, an autistic person himself, began writing about autism out of frustration with society's misconceptions. He is the author of "We're Not Broken," which aims to change the conversation surrounding autism.
Garcia joined New Day NW to talk more about common myths surrounding autism and the steps we should take to change the conversation.
