Sideways Brain – Profound Autism

Susan Parziale’s story begins in Medford — home of Bob’s, the legendary spot where one sandwich could cure a hangover and reset your whole day — and traces her path from a simple Medford girl to an advocate and devoted mother, as her life moved in a completely different direction shaped by profound autism, where small victories, sideways joys, and countless loving moments define her world, all before we drift into the Medford Rum debate and its tangled hometown history that no one can fully agree on.
