In this powerful and emotional episode, we delve into the life of Dr. Michael Gillman, a distinguished orthopedic surgeon and a father who successfully navigated the profound challenges of raising a child with high-aptitude autism. Alongside autism consultant Melisa Reiner, we explore the often-misunderstood world of autism, moving beyond conventional narratives of hardship to highlight a story of exceptional aptitude and resilience. Dr. Gillman shares his personal journey, detailing how his family nurtured the extraordinary talents of his son, Daniel, and managed to secure a bright future for him while managing a serious brain cancer diagnosis in David, when Daniel was in elementary school.
