About this listen

 Danny Combs' son, Dylan, was just two when he was diagnosed with autism. Although Dylan wasn't able to say "I love you, Dad" until he was six years old, he had started building complex LEGO sets by himself, with no instructions, three years prior. In speaking with his son's therapists, Danny wanted to highlight the fascinating skills his son possessed — but the primary focus was always on what Dylan couldn't do, not what he could. In response, Danny set out to create a program that focused on the strengths and capabilities of young people with autism — which is how TACT, Teaching the Autism Community Trades, was born. He joins Ben to talk about the incredible impact TACT has had thus far, and why we must fight injustices facing the autism community.
