Many parents and professionals struggle with how to teach kids with autism activities of daily living. Activities of daily living include how to dress, how to shower, how to wash hands, and how to clean up for meals for instance. So today I want to talk about how I learned through this book, Activity Schedules for Children with Autism, and how you can create little books to make self-care skills and other daily living skills a lot easier to teach.

Following the previous episode, today I am very excited to interview autism attorney, Gary Mayerson. Gary founded the first law firm in the nation focused on the representation of individuals with autism. After nearly 20 years he has served on some of the most important autism-based cases, and is also the board chairman to the nonprofit organization, Job Paths.
Today, I'm talking all about the use of time out for kids with and without autism and why I rarely recommend using time out for parents or professionals. If you are using time out or have used it in the past, you don't want to miss today's episode.

I’ve worked in the autism field for over two decades; that means I’ve been involved in my fair share of legal disputes. I’ve walked away from each situation with new experiences, and from that experience, I've put together five lessons that are sure to help you the next time you find yourself fighting for your child.
Dr. Joanne Gerenser is an SLP who has worked in her field for 38 years.

As an autism mother, Megan’s fall into the autism world is relatable and you can find pieces of yourself in her story. Her son was diagnosed with autism when he was three years-old, and she has learned to be his advocate. But as someone who had no idea what autism or ABA was, she had a lot of learning to do. Megan’s initial confusion prompted her to start her own podcast called Adventures in Autism!
