Today, we’re joined by veteran journalist and NewsNation anchor Leland Vittert, who has reported from the White House lawn to the battlefields of the Middle East. But now he’s sharing a story no one has ever heard before—his own. In his powerful new book Born Lucky: A Dedicated Father, A Grateful Son, and My Journey with Autism, Leland opens up about his childhood struggles, the relentless dedication of his father, and how love, grit, and resilience shaped the man we see today on primetime TV. Leland, welcome—it’s an honor to have you with us.
1. You’ve been on camera for years as a journalist, but this is the first time you’ve opened up about your personal story. What made now the right time to write Born Lucky?
2. The book really honors your father’s role in shaping your life. Can you share a moment that captures his determination to never let you be defined by your diagnosis?
3. Growing up, you faced painful bullying and rejection. How did those experiences shape your resilience and your drive to succeed?
4. You describe your father quitting his job to essentially “coach” you through life. What were some of the unusual or even tough methods he used that ultimately paid off?
5. From not speaking as a child to anchoring a national news show—your journey is extraordinary. What do you think surprised people most when they learned your story?
6. Your book is both raw and hopeful. What do you want readers—especially parents and kids facing similar challenges—to take away from it?
7. James Patterson praised Born Lucky as “a beautiful, emotional, true story.” What has that kind of support meant to you personally?
8. Now that the book is out, how do you hope this changes the broader conversation about autism, labels, and what’s possible?
