Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh, co-founder of The Autism Network says, “An integral part of The Autism Network’s mission is to elevate the voices of those actually on the spectrum. This is reflected in our programing for The Autism Network Podcastathon. All aspects of production from artwork, editing, hosting, and guest interviews have heavily involved individuals who identify as being Autistic, on the spectrum or Neurodiverse.”

For those looking to hear from individuals who identify as Autistic, on the spectrum, or Neurodiverse, there are many choices throughout the Podcastathon.

The Autism Network Podcastathon will run for 44 hours because until recently the CDC estimated that of eight-year-olds in the US, 1 in 44 had received an ASD diagnosis. Last week the CDC published new numbers. The current autism prevalence is now 1:36, creating an even greater need for quality information. Says Dr. Granpeesheh, “In 1979 when I began working in the field of autism, the prevalence of autism was 1/1000! I never imagined it would increase so drastically over the course of my lifetime. We will discuss some of the reasons for this increase in our Podcastathon.”

The goal of the Podcastathon is to provide information and inspiration to those on the spectrum, young and old, as well as the families, friends and professionals who love them.
