Beginning with his family's odyssey, In a Different Key tells the extraordinary story of this often misunderstood condition, and of the civil rights battles waged by the families of those who have it. Nearly seventy-five years ago, Donald Triplett of Forest, Mississippi became the first child diagnosed with autism. The extraordinary story of autism, from it's first diagnosis through to the modern day and the prejudice, controversies, and struggles families had to go through as they coped with this condition in a loved one. ![]()

Kelton proposes a jobs program, advocates for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid - and that we actually fund them in perpetuity - and explains how the government’s debt is actually the public’s surplus. While “The Deficit Myth” may seem like an economics book - and there were parts I had to reread to understand - this is actually the ultimate social work text as a current MSW student myself, I want to see this book on the curriculum of either our required policy or poverty and inequality courses. In “The Deficit Myth,” Stephanie Kelton explains how politicians toss the national debt from one side of the aisle to the other as a bargaining tool to advocate for cutting the essential programs and social supports that keep millions of Americans, including children, single women who are heads of their households and people with disabilities, out of absolute poverty. ![]() Whatever your personal relationship with the federal government’s ever-increasing debt, that it is ballooning seemingly out of control actually does affect you … but not in the way you might think.
