Born in the 1940s, when autism was barely understood, Lionel was treated as ‘a peculiarity’. Looking After: Autism, Family and End of Life Care is his life story told by psychologist and academic Caroline Elton – his little sister. From their formidable mother refusing advice to institutionalise her young son, to his musical passions, and their shifting familial bonds, Elton shares Lionel’s complex portrait, talking today about carving space for the legacies we leave behind, and finding the life-affirming, tender moments, and love within. Chaired by Julie Farrell.
