Jude combines his own experiences as an autistic man with the stories of others to provide a handbook to help autistic individuals navigate life\u2019s major changes, from childhood to college, jobs, and relationships.

In 2001, Jude was diagnosed autistic at the age of eleven, after having been viewed as having communication and social difficulties. His journey to becoming a proud autistic adult is chronicled in his first book <strong><em>Why Does Daddy Always Look So Sad?<\/em><\/strong>,\u00a0which also follows Jude\u2019s experience of being an autistic dad to his non-autistic son, Ethan.

I am your host Christopher Scott Wyatt, an ambivalent autistic, at best. As my blog tagline has stated since 2007, the blog and podcast are not all of me, but they are the autistic me.<\/p>\n<p>You can imagine my hesitation when I was asked to read a book with the title, Loving Your Place on the Spectrum. Before responding to the request, I searched for information on the book\u2019s author.<\/p>\n<p>It was the title of his first book that persuaded me to invite Jude Morrow to the podcast. Why Does Daddy Always Look So Sad? the title asks, a question posed by Jude\u2019s son. My daughters have heard variations of that question many times. \u201cWhy doesn\u2019t your father smile more?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reading Loving Your Place on the Spectrum, I was pleasantly surprised that the work is a collection of autistic experiences. Jude has included other voices and perspectives, representing the spectrum more fully than some authors have. Several autistics contributed essays to the book.<\/p>\n<p>Jude works to promote inclusion all people as the founder of Neurodiversity Training International. He is also the host of the Neurodiversity Gold podcast, and, of course, a father.<\/p>\n<p>I will invite Jude to tell us more about his background and work as an autistic advocate.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a pleasure to welcome to the podcast, Jude Morrow.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>The Autistic Me on Social Media<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Blog: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tameri.com\/autisticme\/\">https:\/\/www.tameri.com\/autisticme\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/autisticme.libsyn.com\/\">https:\/\/autisticme.libsyn.com\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Facebook: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/autisticme\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/autisticme\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Twitter: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/autisticme\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/autisticme<\/a><\/li>\n<li>YouTube: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/CSWyatt\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/CSWyatt<\/a><\/li>\n<li>LinkedIn: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/autisticme\">https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/autisticme<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Podcast Episode 0079, Season 5, Episode 10; 14 December 2021 Jude Morrow on Loving Your Place on the Spectrum, a book about autistics being their best selves.
