What happens when comedy converges with therapy? The result is an extraordinary connection and engagement with autistic clients, as explained by our guest, Patrick Sisk, a registered behavioral technician and stand-up comedian. Patrick brings a whole new dimension to therapy, using humor as a tool to navigate through the complexities of autism. He shares his unique experiences of working with clients of varying ages in their homes and the support provided by a supervisor to ensure effective therapy.Patrick's story isn’t just about therapy, but also about the challenges he's faced, and how he's used comedy as a de-escalation tool. We take a closer look at one particular case, an adopted 8-year-old girl with autism, and how Patrick has encouraged her to be mindful of her words and actions. This episode promises to keep you engaged and inspired as therapy and comedy coalesce to create extraordinary outcomes. Don't miss out on this heartening conversation that beautifully illustrates the power of laughter and understanding in making a difference in someone's life.https://tonymantor.comhttps://Facebook.com/tonymantorhttps://instagram.com/tonymantorhttps://twitter.com/tonymantorhttps://youtube.com/tonymantormusicintro/outro music bed written by T.

Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by difficulties in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors. Although autism is becoming more widely recognized, there is still a lack of understanding and awareness surrounding the condition. As a result, many individuals and families affected by autism struggle to find the support and resources they need. Why Not Me The World podcast aims to bridge that gap by providing valuable information and insights into autism, fostering empathy and understanding, and promoting acceptance and inclusion. Nashville based Music Producer Tony Mantor explores the remarkable impact his guests make by empowering their voices in spreading awareness about autism and helping break down the barriers of understanding. Join Mantor and his guests as they delve into the world of autism and explore topics such as diagnosis, treatment, research, and personal stories. Together, we can create a more informed and compassionate society for individuals with autism.
