Max gave a brief update on the Channel saying "time has gone very quickly, but the plan is to come back to YouTube, but maybe a video every 2 weeks with better quality."


Today though the Main News that Max wanted to share was that The Autism Connections Season 5 will be airing this week alongside National Autistic Acceptance Week!


This Year will keep the last few years formatm but with a Surprise Guest for the Last Episode being episode 7!


3 Guests will be filmed Online and the other 3 guests will be In Person Interviews!
