Autism Acceptance and the Reality of Growing up with Autism with Aaron Bouma
Sunday, 7 December, 2025
Military historian, museum founder, and autism advocate Aaron Bouma shares his experiences growing up autistic, the challenges he faced in school, how his special interests shaped his career, and why society still misunderstands autism. Aaron discusses Canada’s lack of adult supports, sensory overwhelm, ABA, nonverbal communication, mental health struggles, the “telepathy tapes,” military intelligence units, and the dangers of misinformation around autism—including the recent Tylenol and cure-claim controversies.We also talk about homeschooling autistic children, employment barriers, stigma, navigating daily life as an autistic adult, and how families can better support neurodivergent loved ones.This conversation is essential for parents of autistic kids, teachers, neurodivergent adults, mental-health advocates, and anyone interested in autism acceptance, military history, or unique neurodivergent abilities.Leave a Like and Subscribe if you enjoyed!
