You need community to feel good, to feel connected, to be human. So really, what I think autism does is take away that community, and what Taka does is bring it back.
Imagine facing the daily challenges of autism without a supportive community. In this heartfelt episode, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen sit down with Lisa Ackerman, the founder of TACA (Talk About Curing Autism), to discuss the vital role that community plays in autism treatment. Lisa passionately believes that acceptance alone isn't enough; families need actionable strategies and therapies to help their loved ones thrive.
She also tackles the heavy burdens of guilt and shame that many families experience, urging them to seek out support rather than shouldering these emotions alone. Through TACA, Lisa and her team offer a treasure trove of resources like webinars, conferences, and local chapter meetings to empower families. These tools aim to bring back the sense of community that autism often takes away. As Lisa poignantly puts it, 'You need community to feel good, to feel connected, to be human'.
Tune in to discover how leaning on others can make all the difference for families navigating the complexities of autism.
