Kathryn Morris, American Actress
Morris was featured in a couple of films following her acclaimed role as Lilly Rush in the television series Cold Case (2003-2010).
She left acting when her three-year-old twin boys were diagnosed with autism, which resulted in her wanting to learn everything she possibly could about the disorder. She told Today, “My children are perfect. I cannot imagine them without their autism — their brilliant traces of “just being” on that spectrum has made me a better mother and person. However, our epic journey introduced me to a secret society of sick kids, misfits and savants — bankrupted families in constant emergency mode feeling this pandemic-like panic for a lifetime — epidemic numbers of cute babies who grow up into invisible people in permanent quarantine.” In the fall of 2021, she founded an organization called The Savants which aims to help educate people in autism. The Savants also seeks to help make the world a more inclusive and accessible place for people on the spectrum.
