When I sat down with Eric Chessen to discuss why he chose his career and found his passion in helping children and youth on the autism spectrum I was very surprised. If you know anyone who has a family member with autism you realize very quickly that he or she is difficult to deal with. I asked Eric why he chose such an unwilling population. I told him that I thought “fat people” were unwilling but the autism spectrum is unwilling by design.
I am very happy that Eric Chessen has taken this huge task of trying to help parents, educators and children create a better life for each other through exercise. I personally believe it is a daunting task but Eric goes about like he was training an elite athlete and makes it look easy…a sign of a true “authority”. Check out some of his Autism Exercise videos at http://autismfitness.com.
It is my hope that more people find Eric Chessen so there lives can be enhanced by his knowledge and caring for their child/youth on the autism spectrum.

Hey Rocco,
This is a great interview. Eric’s blog is amazing and a great resource that every person who cares about a friend or family member with Autism should visit. I think its a great thing for people out there with Autism or any medical condition to know that there is someone there to help them enhance their life through fitness.
