About this listen
Kathy Stein spent decades as the legal guardian and devoted advocate for her younger autistic brother, Ed. After Ed’s passing in 2024, Kathy and her siblings chose to donate his brain to scientific research—a powerful act of love that supports future breakthroughs in autism and neurodegenerative disorder understanding and leaves a powerful legacy in Ed’s memory.
In this episode, Kathy shares what lifelong advocacy really looks like, how compartmentalizing your day can protect your energy, and why navigating state-by-state care systems can be so challenging for families. She also walks us through the brain donation process, her idea for a “compassion pill,” and the creative way she stays active through her beloved “big box walking” routine.
