The Last Asperger - Part 2
Tommy, Erika and Jackson are back again with part two! In this episode, Jackson discusses what pulled him into exercise in the first place and his relationship with food and snacky treats (definitely not Styrofoam). Jackson gives some advice for other people on the spectrum and talks about an “absence of sickness” and how that impacted his view on what being healthy meant to him. Tommy and Erika say things too.

The Last Asperger
Erika, Jackson and Tommy explore all things autism, including the difficulties in getting started with exercise if you're on the spectrum, and how to overcome them. Jackson talks about why he identifies as having Asperger's, the condition that no longer "exists", being part of the last Aspie generation, and probes Erika on how many more jabs he needs to become more autistic. Erika gives us the rundown on the new diagnoses for Autism and the controversial topics around language. Tommy adds his experience of living with an "Aspie" brother and father. Listen now to enjoy the humour, controversy and knowledge.
