Dr. Jessica Revill: Autism, suicide and why grief is an amputation

Dr. Jessica Revill joins us to discuss her book, "Find Him Among the Living;" (Kindle & Amazon) about the suicide of her son who had autism and what we can learn from it. She also has a podcast, "Prisoner of the Mind with Dr. Jessica."

We also discuss:

• reactive depression vs endogenous depression
• masking and camouflaging our emotions
• why we're all a "flavor of humanity"
• neurodivergence and learning sign language
• focusing on not just our rights, but our responsibilities
• code-switching
• attention deficit inattentive disorder
• thwarted belonging and why grief is an amputation
