April is Autism Awareness Month – but what does that mean, exactly? And how can people who aren’t on the spectrum make the world a more comfortable, inclusive place for those who are?

Sunny McDaniel, a member of the Board of Trustees at St. Tammany Hospital Foundation and the mother of an autistic child, visited The Lake 94.7-FM studios to talk with host Charles Dowdy about it all.

Listen in via the audio player below or on The Lake website. You can also visit STHfoundation.org/autism to learn more about St. Tammany Health System’s efforts to support patients with autism.
