Autism Resource Podcast

Gilda Evans has spent over 20 years researching and seeking answers for how to get her son with special needs the things he requires for his education, health, and life in general. She became her son’s self-taught advocate and is the creator of the Autism Resource Podcast. Designed for the special needs community and those who support it, the podcast deals with a myriad of topics; from education, to government benefits to housing and almost everything in-between. One of the biggest problems this community faces as a group is not only a lack of certain resources, but also the lack of a singular place to go to discover how to access and use the resources that are out there. Her podcast offers one solution to that dilemma, by providing a one-stop knowledge base for autism and much more.
