Briel Joins WLPO Morning Show Discussion on Autism, Other Health Topics

OTTAWA, Ill. – As the only open neurodivergent member of the General Assembly, state Rep. Amy “Murri” Briel, D-Ottawa, sat down Wednesday with 103.9 WLPO Morning Show’s Rod & Tom to discuss being autistic and what it’s like to be on the spectrum, along with a series of other healthcare topics.

“It’s always an honor to sit down with local folks like Rod and Tom from WLPO to have an in- depth and educational conversation on autism, being on the spectrum and daily life for not only me but so many others who share similar characteristics and qualities,” said Briel. “There are so many unknowns in our healthcare system right now, from federal threats to reliable services to questions on state funding and if we’re doing all we can to support our residents. So, I’m always glad to sit down and talk with people in my community about where we’re missing the mark, what we value and how we can advocate for not some—but all.”
