Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey

Leland Vittert, American journalist and anchor for NewsNation, joins Allie to discuss his book "Born Lucky: A Dedicated Father, a Grateful Son, and My Journey with Autism." Through the interview, Leland discusses his secret diagnoses with autism as a child while his parents rejected accommodations and taught him to conquer adversity head-on. From relentless bullying throughout school to Middle East war zones and network news, Leland credits his dad’s “adapt to the world” philosophy for his success. Heart-wrenching, hope-filled stories prove that hardship forges character, tough parental love yields resilient adults, and God redeems every struggle.
