144:You DC: Not All Heroes Wear Capes
Have you ever looked at the shirts that say: This is My Superpower, What’s Yours? Today I am going to tell you mine because this episode will be comparing DC Comics and autism. You will learn how each of the biggest names in DC Comics have particular traits that represent the abilities that neurotypicals produce. So, everyone listen; its not a bird or a plane.

142:Identical Yet Opposites By BJ Yoho
We have a special guest today! My very best friend in the whole world, Mr. BJ Yoho. BJ is from Bloomfield, Indiana and we have gone to school together since pre-school. He is truly like a brother to me and a part of my family. BJ, like me, has had some trials and tribulations in his life, but has overcome so much. BJ was born with special bifida and has been in a wheelchair for most of his life. Let me tell you, this has not stopped him. He is a celebrity in our community. One of the most amazing things BJ has done is bring joy to the patients at Riley Hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana. He has turned over the reins to another young lady, but for years, BJ and his mother, Blaine Yoho, collected thousands of toys and personally delivered them to Riley Hospital for the children staying there around Christmas time. Our community even has a BJ Yoho Day!
141:Meet Asta/Suzanne (Sara Tomko)
Join me as we interview Sara Tomko and learn about her characters, Asta, in the series Resident Alien and Suzanne on Sneaky Pete. There is more; she is also a firm believer in taking care of your mental health. I had the honor of discussing our beliefs on mental health and why everyone should focus on their mindset. Join us for laughs, serious opinions on mental health in general, equality, and what is next for Ms. Tomko and Autism Rocks and Rolls.

140:Under The Weather
On this episode, I elaborate on why someone with any disability has to fight ten times harder to get over a sickness and I talk about the actual definition of physical and mental health. This episode will mention how we can become creative with the ways in which we handle a simple cold or flu symptom. The reason why we struggle is because we have an overload of neurological sensory issues. People that are on the spectrum will understand that this is something else that is added to our plate.
