  • Great Topics and in-depth Content

    I very much enjoy the in-depth content explored with this Podcast. Autism is very much misunderstood and I appreciate your efforts and help with revealing Autism. People hate critical thinking and this podcast does that for you, so you, the listener, can understand Autism. Also, I’m jealous of the Title- It is so good.
