The first part of today’s episode has us talking with Denise Resnik, the founder and president/CEO of First Place…an enterprise dedicated to helping those with autism transition into a routine-based adult life. As a result of her experience in this field, she is able to have an in-depth conversation about not just the effects of autism on families, communities, and society, but also to give insight into the particular pitfalls and problems that result from the intersection of life as a minority and as a person with autism.

In the second part of the show, we give a bit more time to Denise Resnik as she explains the cracks in society that neurodivergent individuals can fall into. We discuss interactions from police, housing issues, and economic opportunities and how challenging these can be for those with autism, as well as how problematic it can be when society gets it wrong.

About Civic Cipher

Civic Cipher is a weekly radio show hosted by Ramses Ja and Q. Ward. This show is dedicated to empowering Black and Brown voices, allowing them to engage directly with their communities as well as the general population. Self-determination is critical to securing a future free of oppressive systems, and Civic Cipher exists to facilitate discussions toward this end. Furthermore, Civic Cipher seeks to inform non-POC allies who may not be privy to these types of discussions and optics. Finally, Civic Cipher seeks to provide long-form conversations in spaces where there is often a lack of significant resources, potent dialogue, or the necessary engagement for facilitating a healthy and productive civil discourse.
