EP 10: Autism Is NOT A Learning Disability!

Torrin and I discuss the misconceptions around autism and the ability to learn in the "traditional" classroom setting.  We want our listeners to know that autism is NOT a behavior disorder, nor does it include an intellectual delay; however, co-occuring learning disabilities/differences can bring on some challenges, if they are present in an individual.
