Social Goals Before Academic Goals
Originally Aired Mon, 09/24/2012 - 2:00pmWe all have goals that we are working on with our children, but, since autism is a social-relational disorder (not a math disorder), Raun and Kristin make the case for focusing on social goals first – and pinpoint the 4 goals that are most important to focus upon. Your hosts also argue about long vs. short hair on men and women, concoct anti-flatulence inventions, and use the “Celebrating Our Kids” section to celebrate one of our listeners. Kristin provides some quirky insights on mindless eating, building stronger bones, and visiting the dentist.
