In this episode, we make history because for the first time on Autism Rocks and Rolls, we interview a play therapist. The play therapist I will be interviewing is Jack Mason Goodall, who not only loves Disney but I met just in February through a speaking gig in Oklahoma. Goodall runs Autism Optimism International in England, which is a therapy place that tries to bring the best out of someone on the spectrum since 2009.

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.

Tuesday Dec 21, 2021
Tuesday Dec 21, 2021
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."
