  • All About Autism Podcast 112: Thinking About the Unthinkable

    Hi, and welcome to Episode 112 of the All About Autism Podcast, where your hosts Dave and Heather Eaton spend some time thinking about the unthinkable: First, they discuss a young man on the autism spectrum who was killed by a train. Then Dave and Heather talk about the recent news regarding Gigi Jordan’s explanation of what drove her to kill her 8-year-old son, Jude Mirra, who is pictured at right. This particular show is a little somber, due to its subject matter, but the Eatons feel these are important issues to discuss, and you’re in good hands with them. And later on, in our listener feedback section, we have some great news where we’ve been able to implement a brilliant listener suggestion! Thanks for listening.
