Learning You: Conversation with Actor and Autism Dad John Wells

In this episode of Just Another Autism Podcast, Eileen Lamb talks with John Wells, a father, fitness influencer, actor, and autism advocate, about his experience raising his son with profound autism. John shares his story of raising both of his children and how his perspective on parenting changed when supporting his child with high support needs. Additionally, we learn about John’s latest film, Learning You, which follows a father taking his autistic son on a road trip. For him, this wasn’t just another film; it was a meaningful opportunity to share his real-life experience as an autism dad. 

John recently served as an advisor on the set of Autism Fit, Autism Speaks’ newly launched fitness series hosted by autistic television personalities, Eva Erickson (Survivor) and Tanner Smith (Love on the Spectrum).
