My HoneyDew this week is actor Joe Mantegna! You’ve seen Joe in Criminal Minds, and you can check out the book The Long Branch by his assistant Dan Ramm. Joe joins me this week to Highlight the Lowlights of battling rheumatic fever as a kid, his father losing a lung to tuberculosis, and the premature birth of his first daughter, who was later diagnosed with autism. Joe opens up about how his daughter’s autism has become part of their family dynamic and fuels their passion for research and advocacy.
