The Real Asa Maass

This past weekend I had the honor of interviewing Asa Maass, the man behind the ‪@fatheringautism‬ vlog. It's been exactly one year since I met him and his family at Playlist Live, and a lot has happened between then and now. So here is a peek at what goes on in Asa's mind, let's get to know him a little better!

    Excellent job Asa. Just wanted to let you know that you are amazing. It is excellent idea to teach others how to achieve more. You look to be natural teacher and motivational speaker. My husband has Asbergers and he goes thru interest obsession it's maddening and we need a garage sale lol. But I love him. Life with someone who can obsess is never dull. Lol. It was great getting to know you as a person better. Jen needs a segment on her channel where she does random interviews. She a natural

    Wow, Asa is right. You’re a great interviewer. Thought provoking questions with just the right amount of humor. I’ve watched every fatheringautism video. I just found your channel through them and so far I’ve watched a handful. I’m going to start at the beginning and watch your videos too. I love watching people enjoying their awesome lives.

    I swear Jen I'm prescribing your videos to myself. It is not possible to watch one without feeling better. So cool interviewing our autism social media pioneer. God put him doing this and gave him the ability I know it. A community that will impact the world of autism was started by him and now he's using his abilities to welcome others to the party. Definition of a pioneer. I think of those early dark first days we all went through and how now people who are there can see these videos get encouragement, tips and most importantly see people living, loving and being happy and know that life goes on and it will good, not without challenge but good. That is the impact of this.
