Description
Today I spoke with Gavin, my 23 year old autistic son about his journey towards independence in 2023 and what he hopes for in 2024. The conversation didn’t go as planned and Gavin opens up about some very personal struggles that he’s recently overcome. Some I was aware of and others I wasn’t. He also shares his big plans for furthering his independence in 2024 and then drops a massive bomb about one of his new goals. This is such an inspiring conversation. I’m so proud of him.Hosted by Rob Gorski:Rob Gorski, a devoted single father to three incredible autistic sons, is the Founder and CEO of The Autism Dad, LLC.

Dr. Jason Kahn on managing meltdowns with Mightier (S1E12): In today's episode, I have a conversation with Dr. Jason Kahn, PhD. Dr. Kahn is a researcher from Boston Children's Hospital, an instructor at Harvard, co-founder and Chief Science Officer of Mightier. Mightier is a program that helps kids learn to self-regulate their emotions by playing video games. That means fewer emotional outbursts or meltdowns, and a reduction of parental stress.This program is absolutely amazing and works for pretty much anyone. I speak with Dr. Kahn about how Mightier was developed, the science behind is and why it works so well. If your child is struggling with meltdowns or emotional outbursts, PLEASE listen and check out Mightier. I've been using it with my youngest for almost a year and it's amazing. http://bit.ly/2ZPjjAx (Support This Podcast)You can find me: https://my.captivate.fm/theautismdad.com (theautismdad.com)Twitter: https://twitter.com/theautismdad (https://twitter.com/theautismdad)This e by The Autism Dad
