The Diversity Pivot

Kenneth J. Doka, PhD, MDiv, is an Autism & Grief Project advisory board member and the Senior Vice President of Grief Programs at Hospice Foundation of America (HFA) and recipient of the 2019 Lifetime Achievement Award from the Association for Death Education and Counseling. Together, we discuss:

• The Autism & Grief Project and how it helps adults with autism cope with grief and loss
• Why is it important to focus on supporting autistic adults when it comes to dealing with grief, and how does the project aim to bridge the support gap
• What are some common challenges that adults on the autism spectrum face when dealing with grief, and how does the project address these challenges
