Building Healthy Relationships with Children with Autism | Episode #39 - Jay Yoder

Jay Yoder (@jayyodercomedy) is Teacher, Comedian, and Podcast Host. He is currently a Co-Host on the Teacher Off Duty Podcast, and is one of the headliners on the Bored Teachers Comedy Tour. On this episode, Jay and I discuss his transition into comedy, being scared to start teaching and the pit stains that came with it, how he would bring an extra shirt to work each day, the importance of having other passions, being raised in “witness protection” by lesbian mothers and feeling like he needed to hide it, adjusting his vision of fatherhood in raising his daughter with autism, how dinner time was “like going to war,” food therapy, being trolled by other teachers, weird first-year teacher fears, how his students have responded to his increased social media presence, and, much more. Thank you all for tuning in and hope you enjoy the show! Send us a textThoughts shared on the podcast are purely our own and do not represent the views of the Anglophone South School District or the relevant jurisdictions associated with my guests.
