the poop story realy hit close to home. thanks guys for dooing what you do
I love this show
I have a deformity of my right that limits its' use and epilepsy as well. For years I have been saying that no matter what nice or scientific label you put on something people are going to twist that around to be mean or whatnot, stop trying to change the label and work on changing people's attitudes. Great podcast guys.
brilliant! 😍
thanks so much guys!
You guys are awesome! I have 3 Autastic Kiddies. 1 boy and 2 girls. Im learning so much from this podcast. I love that you guys look at Autism in a lighter way. Lots of people seem to take offence to different words and phrases surrounding Autism. I say stop getting offended (unless its rude) and try and spread awareness! Keep up the amazing work!
Every time you talk about your brother Peter it makes me smile. I think I love him as much as you do.
as father of an autistic son I truly injoyed there passivee perspective on this subject. we are truly lucky to have these special spirits in our lives.
