With the latest technology changes podcasts became a great information consumption medium as listeners can download their favorite audio programs and listen to them when they want – an hour or three years after they were published and as podcast listening primarily takes place on smartphones and tablets now people can listen wherever they are.
This is especially true for parents with children on the autistic spectrum including autism ADHA, SPD and Asperger syndrome, its difficult to find the time to chill out and learn new techniques and strategies but more often it is the feeling of community and support that the podcast brings to the listeners which makes it worthwhile listening to.
All of a sudden you feel less isolated and more “Normal” as a parents are exposed to new ways to look at the progress made and are engaged with different specialists and therapists that might help them in different ways they couldn’t imagine before.
