Welcome to the Autism Warriors Podcast!

Autism Warriors is a podcast where we talk about everything related to Autism.

Each week, host Ericka Plourde and her co-host Pamela Mari get together and talk about Autism including but not limited to Autism stories in the news, questions concerning behaviors, family dynamics, methodologies, and most importantly, share difficulties and triumphs while living within an Autism family. At times there will be guest speakers who are either on the spectrum or have something to share of interest to the Autism community.

Ericka Plourde is an expert Autism Warrior because she has two children that are on the Autism Spectrum.  Though she is not an expert at everything Autism, she brings a unique glimpse in to the world of Autism.
