  • Great podcast but!

    Great podcast with tons of great information. I just listened to your episode on food and found it super interesting. But I have to point out that the symptoms you describe experiencing as an allergy to chocolate and ice cream are NOT food allergy!

  • Some good info, not great navigation

    From what I've heard so far, this podcast has some good info for service providers and families. I wish the episode list would provide a short blurb regarding the topic being discussed ...right now it either says "like autism live on Facebook" or it gives the name of the person or organization being interviewed (which is not helpful if you are unfamiliar with the person/organization).

    Also, I wish there was an option to have audio only. Video podcasts are glitchy on my iPad and there is no nee... more
