WHY NOT ME?
PODCAST
About Why Not Me? Podcast:
In 2021, veteran Nashville music producer Tony Mantor recorded a song titled “Why Not Me,” as a tribute to individuals with Autism, a complex neurodevelopmental condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by difficulties in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors. Although autism is becoming more widely recognized, there is still a lack of understanding and awareness surrounding the disorder. As a result, many individuals and families affected by autism struggle to find the support and resources they need. Why Not Me? podcast aims to bridge that gap by providing valuable information and insights into autism, fostering empathy and understanding, and promoting acceptance and inclusion. Mantor explores the remarkable impact his guests make by empowering their voices in spreading awareness about autism and helping break down the barriers of understanding. Join Mantor and his guests as they delve into the world of autism and mental health, exploring topics such as diagnosis, treatment, research, the legal system, and personal stories from those in the autistic and mental health communities. Together, we can create a more informed and compassionate society for individuals with autism or mental health disorders. Why Not Me? is streaming now through Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon, iHeart Media, or at WhyNotMe.world.
