Beyond The Lines

Beyond The Lines examines and discusses how sports and life issues intersect in the lives of our youth athletes. We, as adults, parents and coaches, look at our youth as the voice and leaders of our future, but we rarely listen to them or even give them a platform to express themselves. Sports and life issues go hand-in-hand. They both compliment each other. They both enable our youth to become those leaders that we want and expect them to become. Beyond The Lines will be the platform to discuss the wide range of sports and life issues. You will hear from various guests, including youth athletes themselves. It's more than scores and highlights. Beyond The Lines is about educating and informing with the focus on our youth.

Living with Autism

May 02, 2023 • Jason Davis • Episode 64

In Episode #64, I have a very candid and informative conversation with Sam, a twenty year old from Indiana. Same shares, in detail, when he was diagnosed with Autism, how he felt at the time and what life has been like living with Autism. He spells out what his school-age years were like and how he was treated by his classmates and those in his neighborhood. The conversation turns to the myths and misconceptions about those with Autism and how Sam handled those situations. Sam sheds some light on exactly what the Autism Spectrum is, where he's at on the spectrum and his honest thoughts about the spectrum. Finally, Sam offers his advice to kids who have Autism and what parents can do to help their autistic children thrive. In the end, I offer my '3 Takeaways.'

Please listen in to this very honest conversation.

As always, thanks for listening. Take care.
