My Lecture on Chesterton and Autism

My Lecture on Chesterton and Autism

 

 

A couple of weeks ago I delivered a lecture at the Society of G.K. Chesterton Conference in Milwaukee, titled "Chesterton and Autism." It it, I discussed my own experiences with autism and how Chesterton's work helped me to train my brain to respond to challenging situations. If you're interested, please take a look.
