The CDC recently revealed that 1:36 children in the US is estimated to have a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. “People need good information about autism. They need it now. They need it for free. This Podcastathon is a great example of how the autism community can come together to help those in need.” says Shannon Penrod, host of Autism Live and coordinator for the Podcastathon. “The programming appropriately features experts and advocates who identify themselves as Autistic, on the Spectrum, or Neurodiverse.” Content will be geared to individuals on the spectrum, parents, loved ones, educators and clinicians. Penrod goes on to add, “At the Autism Network we believe that our community starts with individuals on the spectrum but it should also include everyone who loves someone on the spectrum. And the support that everyone needs is going to be individual.” Parents are often overwhelmed by a support system that seems difficult to navigate without help. For teens and adults on the spectrum the support can seem sparse. 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.
