Hear The Autism Anthem by Dave Eaton
Dave’s new music video: “Brief Relief”
The All About Autism Podcast is sponsored by Eaton Alliance.
I was probably unfair to Bloomington, they may have a wealth of help compared to other cities in Indiana, I guess parents just always want more, right? I enjoyed the episode and will work on pushing, not just my son who has autism, but my daughter as well to reach new heights. Seems like a simple concept but it is easy to become complacent. Hey Dave, I agree with you about this Whole Foods situation. I even thought “Even if this guy did say what she says he did, how do we know that he wasn’t just someone who can’t separate ‘buddy’ talk and public talk?” I mean say he’s used to saying “Your wife keeps you on a short leash huh pal?” Maybe he was merely meaning “Can you watch him a little closer? Reign him in a bit?” Just a thought, keep up the good work.
How come Dave was so defensive for Whole Foods? Is he a hippy or something?
Are there any proven approaches out there for adults with autism? It seems like every approach is geared toward children. My son goes to a day program and all they do is babysit him. I don’t see any real progress. Not to be negative.
