Alex Cathcart | There is no Neurological Default

December 28, 2017 by Jonathan Adamson

I got the chance to shadow Alex Cathcart while he tended the vegetable garden made a true farm-to-table lunch– It was delicious!

Alex told me that although autism is an undeniable part of his reality, he doesn’t feel like it defines him as a person. It was his interest and education in plants that led to his AmeriCorps VISTA position as a botanist at Madison Fields. Watch Alex’s story below:
