For many years, autism was considered a childhood disorder. Today, organizations like Ascendigo recognize autism as a lifelong condition that is best supported by community. Journalists John Donvan and Caren Zucker, co-authors of In a Different Key: The Story of Autism, joined KDNK’s Raleigh Burleigh to discuss these topics with Ascendigo president and CEO Peter Bell. John Donvan and Caren Zucker will join VIP ticket-holders at the Ascendigo Blue Aspen fundraiser on February 17. Tickets are availablehere.
