The Understanding Autism Podcast

People with autism can experience a great deal of stress making eye contact. In this episode we explore why those on the spectrum avoid eye contact and offer some solutions in managing this behavior. 

What exactly is autism? In this show we examine various definitions of autism and how these definitions shape our understanding of what autism is. 

Our first podcast episode! In this episode Nicole Kubilus (diagnosed with autism at age 2) and Bret Thayer (parent of an autistic child and former teacher) explain who they are, how they met and their purpose in launching this podcast.
