Hear The Autism Anthem by Dave Eaton
Dave’s new music video: “Brief Relief”
The All About Autism Podcast is sponsored by Eaton Alliance.
My name is Kelly and I have a 12 year-old son with autism. He is a good kid overall, but he does get aggressive toward his mother and sister sometimes. I wish that we could get away from labeling our autistic children high functioning or low. It seems like doing this reduced them down to cattle or objects or something. Mitchell’s teachers will do this and I will tell tem his name is Mitchell. My son is a person, not a label. I like you’re show. You guys are fun!
