Autism Rocks and Rolls

159:Flying High With Rob Van Dam And Katie Forbes

In this episode, we interview the one-of-a-kind professional wrestler Rob Van Dam, also known as RVD. Rob Van Dam has been able to call ECW and WWE home. I admire this man because he has had many concussions throughout his career, but he still kept going. That is not all. We will also meet his lovely wife, Mrs. Katie Forbes. Forbes has also been a professional wrestler, but she, like her husband, wrestled in Impact Wrestling too. Enjoy hearing RVD and Katie Forbes' hardcore words of wisdom. 

158:Literally Autism Rocks And Rolls

On this episode, we hear how autism really does "rock and roll" because we will hear comparisons on how certain rock songs and lines are related to the autism and the mental health world. That is not all folks because some of the wisdom you might hear from the host is for everybody, as you can take some of the advice too. Enjoy!

157:WWE Special Part 4-Pumping Up The Main Event

Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for the main event. The contest is scheduled for one fall and it is a tag team match where I and autism team up to battle to fight the stigma and the big bully. In this last episode of the WWE Special, I talk about how the stigma enters the professional wrestling world to not just hurt us but also help us at some point. So we win and, as Paul Heyman may say, "that's not a prediction, that's a spoiler."

156:WWE Special Part 3-Catapulting To The WWE

On this episode, we go even further into the world of professional wrestling, comparing what is relevant to the WWE world to autism. This episode will prove my point that WWE is the sport of autism.

155:WWE Special Part 2-Laying The Smackdown On The Stigma

In this episode it is part two of the WWE Special. What we discuss on the episode is the hidden emotions and obstacles we have to fight with daily through professional wrestling. In part two we no longer talk about the basics but really discuss how the extras in professional wrestling are important in the pro wrestling and autism world.

154:WWE Special Part 1-Reinventing The Raw Side Of Autism

WELCOME TO Monday NIGHT RAW! That is probably what you are thinking since today is Monday but it is not. It is official welcome to the WWE Special For AUTISM ROCKS AND ROLLS! It is special because this is the first part of four WWE Specials in Autism Rocks And Rolls. In the first chapter of this special, we discuss the basics of professional wrestling and how the main parts of professional wrestling can be similar to autism. Listen to see why I think professional wrestling and WWE are on the spectrum.

153:”Heading” Into The Interview With Al Snow

What does everybody want? That is the big question of the day because this episode is all about WWE hardcore wrestler Al Snow. He is also the first guest who wanted to be on my show and he put himself on the list to be. In his time in WWE his character represented mental health but he is also an inspiration to many of his adoring fans. Everyone can hear from the hero and the 6 time WWE Hardcore Champion as he thinks we all have our crosses to bare. 

152:Here‘s Your C-Don‘t Define Me By Lonnie Bedwell

 Join me as we talk to Lonnie Bedwell. This guy is one of my closest friends, and he is someone I really respect. The first time I met Mr. Lonnie Bedwell was through my mother, who has been asking him to speak to her classes for several years. Lonnie's resume includes kayaking the Grand Canyon twice, appearing on the Steve Harvey Show, NBC's Today Show, Bobby Bones, being covered by local media numerous times, and having several speaking engagements throughout the year. Lonnie hunts, keeps his home and yard, works, has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, teaches kayaking, and has touched the lives of millions of people who have interacted with him or watched from afar as he conquers the world. Lonnie is the father of three adult daughters and has several grandchildren. Did I mention that he is blind? Despite this, he has accomplished much. He lost his vision several years ago in a hunting accident, but he never gave up and never lost his sight. He also served in the Navy, so we certainly appreciate his service. I am sure that when people think of Lonnie Bedwell, they think of the following: motivator, hero, go-getter, hard worker, dancer, and someone who never gives up.

151:Taking A Trip On The Country Roads

Yee-haw you all! I am back with another music episode. In this one, I play a game where yes, my mystery singer is back. I give you clues as to what song we are singing. I compare country music to autism, and lots of crazy singing is going on. Let’s have fun with this one and learn about autism and country music.

150:A Beautiful Mess-A Mother‘s Vision By Marie Adell

Get ready to listen to some amazing advice from an Aspie mother, Marie Adell. Marie's goal is to help others understand autism like her family has done over the years. She is mom to a daughter on the spectrum and has made it to her life goal to be an inspiration and to bring awareness, acceptance and attention to helping aspies become successful. She has not only traveled for educational purposes to places like Ethiopia and Indonesia, but has also worked on other podcasts to spread her knowledge as an autistic mother.
