    Today I am joined by Sam Mitchell, the host of 'Autism Rocks and Rolls Podcast' someone I would describe as an Autism champion.

    Based in Indiana, USA Sam at 19 has faced many challenges that have changed him dramatically. They have also been the motivation for Sam's strengths and definitely the work that he does now.

    As we move into a world where clinical decisions are being made and new discoveries found around Autism, It crucial we begin to understand more about it, the spectrum it holds and how we can find a new context to normalise the actions it manifests.

    Societal rules and expectations can often dictate that we have to act a certain way, and our behaviour is either good or bad, right or wrong.

    What happens if we challenge this, and you live with a brain that processes this in a different way.

    I tell you what happens, a fascinating conversation that's what!

    Autism is a superpower and we are about to prove it!

  • Superhero Finder #25 - Does Opinion mean more than Fact? Social Media is the New Religion - Steven Armstrong
    Episode 25 sees me speak to an old friend of mine, about exactly how social media has such a huge impact in today's world.
    With so much news reported, so many agenda's present its almost impossible to know who and what to trust.
    What you interact with could determine your opinion and shape your belief's through algorythms.
    There are plenty of extreme views but what if you want to stay in the middle. Is that easier or harder?
    Sit back, enjoy and stay super!

  • Superhero Finder #21 - Are you Correcting or Connecting? The Key to Happiness | Becki Sams
    Well..
    Lets just say this episode is chocked FULL of some knowledge bombs and takeaway actions and mantra's.
    Myself and Becki met a couple of months ago for a meeting about the Kinder Leeds Festival www.kinderleeds.org and have kept in touch since.
    In fact we knew that generally we talk, and time disappears so we set a time limit. Time still disappeared.
    So this is the result.. Feelings are normal! We discuss this as well as how to practise Mindfullness, the idea of Mindlessness and how to deal with emotional situations in a way that keeps you in the driving seat.
    We truly hope you enjoy this and would love feedback or a message to let us know how it resonated with you!
    Grab a drink, take a seat and enjoy!
