In some ways, the idea of "Sports on the Spectrum" might never have happened if not for a radio interview I did in the summer of 2020. I was asked to come onto a show called "Behind the Student-Athlete" on KQBH Los Angeles for an interview. When the radio hosts heard my story about how I have used sports to help me with my autism, they asked my dad to join me.
My dad and I had such a great time doing this interview and sharing my story that we wondered if perhaps there might be a larger audience to discuss autism as well as other mental and emotional health conditions along with the role that sports can play in coping with those conditions, which led to us creating "Sports on the Spectrum" and this website.
But again, it might never have happened if not for this interview!
