Episode 165 - Quality of Life

Unlike mercy, our quality of life does NOT droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven. Instead, our perception of how well (or not) our lives are is based on a number of factors relating to job satisfaction, social relationships, and physical wellbeing. Or so we thought. Turns out, all measures of quality of life may not be created equally, especially for autistic individuals. This week, we hit the research journals to identify what does and doesn't matter in improving quality of life (and, what research still has to find out!).

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
