Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Autism? | Justin Robbins | TEDxTufts

From the TEDxTufts stage, Justin Robbins shares his experiences with the autism community, and where the dominant narrative emerges when it comes to policy, social interaction, and identity politics. As an autistic individual himself, Justin tells his side of a story that is not often heard.

Justin Robbins is a senior double majoring in biology and history. He is the co-founder and president of the Coalition for Autism Support at Tufts (CAST), a support and advocacy group by and for autistic students.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
