Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Over the last two decades, hundreds of thousands of children have been diagnosed with autism. Now parents and advocates are concerned about what will happen when those kids grow up. Kojo examines services and supports for adults with autism, and competing visions for a safety net that doesn’t yet exist.
