Send us Fan MailAutism awareness month is about the three A's, awareness, acceptance and appreciation. I had the opportunity to speak with Daniel Breeyear, in my podcast episode in honor of Autism Awareness Month. Dan is a brilliant mental health professional who explains some of the science behind why autistic people experience the world the way they do. Also, what are some of the flags that can alert us to a child having a possible autism diagnosis and how we help them. Instead of expecting autistic members of society to learn how to adjust to a neurotypical world, society can start to learn how to meet autistic people where they are. After all, without members of the autism spectrum we would not have the amazing art, scientific breakthroughs and uniqueness that makes the world a beautiful place. So tune in to this episode of my podcast, "Down the Yellow Brick Road... A Journey with Your Pediatrician. The Three As Of Autism" with my guest Dan. 

As April marks Autism Awareness Month, a new book is calling for a fresh approach to how we support children with developmental disabilities and their families. Early Childhood Intervention by Ballina-based psychologist Martin O'Connor brings together the voices of parents, professionals and policymakers, offering what he describes as a more compassionate, practical and family-centred way forward. For more on this, Martin joined Alan Morrissey on Friday's Morning Focus. Photo (c) amazon.ie

Hey Heal Squad! It's Throwback Thursday, and since April is Autism Awareness Month, we're bringing back this really eye-opening conversation with Kyland Young,  known from Big Brother and The Challenge, and a member of the historic Cookout alliance. In this episode, Kyland opens up about receiving a late autism diagnosis in his 30s and how that completely shifted the way he understands himself, his relationships, and the way he moves through the world. He shares what it was like growing up just feeling “different,” how being on Big Brother actually led to his diagnosis, and the relief that came with finally having answers. He also gets into how his brain processes information, what social interactions can feel like on the spectrum, and the tools he's used to adapt, learn, and thrive. Such a powerful one to revisit!

In this special episode of Your Week with St. Luke's, Pastor Jad is joined by St. Lukers Dayani Fernando and Mark Niederman for an honest and hope-filled conversation marking Autism Awareness Month—while inviting listeners to move beyond awareness toward true acceptance. Through personal stories and faith-centered reflection, they explore the wide spectrum of autism, the challenges families face, and the often-overlooked strengths and gifts of those on the spectrum. Together, they invite the church to become a more inclusive and compassionate community—one that listens deeply, embraces difference, and lives out the truth that every person is a beloved child of God, created with purpose and worthy of belonging.

The initiative highlights the serious impact chronic stress can have on both physical and mental health, including increased risk of high blood pressure, weakened immunity, burnout, and reduced productivity and will see community mental health workers and health educators conducting outreach sessions across the island. The campaign also coincides with Autism Awareness Month, reinforcing the importance of inclusion and recognizing the unique stressors faced by individuals with autism and their families, while promoting practical strategies to help the public take action to protect their overall well-being.

April is Autism Awareness Month, and today's episode is with Lisa Candera, the autism mom coach! This episode has nuggets of wisdom and support for moms who are walking the same path as Lisa and for moms who are loving someone in their lives who are walking the same path. We are so honored to have her on the show!Lisa Candera is a single mom to a young adult with severe autism and OCD, a practicing attorney, and a life coach for autism moms. She founded The Autism Mom Coach as the answer to the question she asked herself during her son's most volatile years of acute aggression, school crises, and hospitalizations:How do I stay steady and grounded when my child is constantly melting down?The answer became the foundation of her coaching program, where she teaches autism moms to regulate first so they can respond with steadiness and lead with confidence.Lisa hosts The Autism Mom Podcast, is a regular contributor to The Autism Parenting Magazine and presenter on parental self-care, emotional regulation, and meltdown de-escalation strategies for Autism Services and Resources, Connecticut.  https://theautismmomcoach.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-candera-949b3175/https://www.facebook.com/theautismmomcoachhttps://www.instagram.com/theautismmomcoach/

The internet is BUZZING and so are we — buckle up because today's episode has everything. We're kicking things off with the story everyone's talking about: Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel and The Athletic's NFL insider Dianna Russini were photographed poolside, in a hot tub, and on a rooftop deck at the Ambiente luxury hotel in Sedona, Arizona — two of the photos showing them with intertwined hands and hugging on the deck. Both are married to other people.  Vrabel called it “a completely innocent interaction,” and Russini said the photos don't represent the full group that was hanging out.  Sure, guys. We have thoughts.Then we zoom out to some actual world-altering news — the U.S. and Iran reached a ceasefire deal less than two hours before the deadline Trump imposed for Iran to meet his demands or face wide-scale destruction.  The dramatic shift came as intermediaries, led by Pakistan, worked feverishly to prevent further escalation.  We break down what this means, what's still shaky, and whether we actually dodged a bullet here.On a much lighter note — Sabrina Carpenter is back and she brought friends. The music video for “House Tour” features Carpenter, Margaret Qualley, and Madelyn Cline rolling up to a $36 million L.A. mansion in a hot pink van marked “Pretty Girl Clean-Up Crew” — and they proceed to rob it blind, making off with wine, jewels, and the Grammy off the mantle.  The internet has completely lost its mind and we are HERE for it.Then — a disgruntled employee goes full scorched earth and destroys the warehouse he works at. We react.Plus, Love on the Spectrum Season 4 dropped on April 1st to kick off Autism Awareness Month, and Netflix has already renewed it for a fifth season  — because apparently the world still has a beating heart.We wrap it all up with your Questions of the Day — worst haircut you ever had, what's a small thing someone can do to make themselves more attractive, and an underrated life hack you swear by — plus today's Nuclear Opinion.

It's Autism Awareness Month, and while awareness of autism has never been higher, our actual understanding of the diagnosis is still far behind where it needs to be. In this episode, Lisa Candera draws on her 18 years as an autism parent, her background as a certified life coach, and her work with over 100 autism moms to break down three things every autism mom needs to know right now: why the experts don't have it all figured out, why your judgment as a parent matters more than you think, and why you deserve real support — not just platitudes about oxygen masks and superpowers.Lisa shares candid personal stories about navigating conflicting medical advice, the limitations of ABA therapy for her teenage son, and the real-world consequences of SSRIs prescribed without autism-specific knowledge. She also highlights examples from her coaching clients — including mothers whose children were diagnosed with everything except autism for years, and a mom whose own observations led to a PANS/PANDAS diagnosis that doctors had missed entirely.This episode is a grounding, no-nonsense look at where we actually are in our understanding of autism, and what that means for you as the person closest to your child.Key Takeaways1. We are still in the early stages of understanding autism. Like other complex neurological conditions, we don't fully know what causes autism or why it presents so differently from person to person. Autism is not a simple spectrum — Lisa describes it as more of a "soup," where the interaction between autism, anxiety, sensory processing, ADHD, and OCD changes everything. Treatments that help one child may not help another, and the experts themselves frequently disagree on the best course of action.2. Your parental judgment is one of the most important tools you have. When the professionals don't agree and the science is still catching up, the parent's proximity to their child becomes a critical source of information. You are the one who sees the full picture — before school, after therapy, after a medication change. Lisa urges autism moms to build the muscle of trusting their own observations, pattern recognition, and instincts, while being clear that this is not about blaming yourself for past decisions with the benefit of hindsight.3. You need support — and you don't need a permission slip to get it. There is almost nothing in the current system designed to support the parent who is coordinating therapies, handling meltdowns, sitting in IEP meetings, and making high-stakes decisions every day. Lisa explains why she built her coaching practice to fill this gap, and why real support means something more substantive than being told you're a superhero or that God gives special kids to special parents.Timestamps[00:00] Introduction — Autism Awareness Month and why awareness is not the same as understanding[02:30] Lisa's updated podcast intro and coaching philosophy[04:45] Announcement: The Autism Mom Coach 2.0 rebrand and new website[07:00] Why we are in the "dark ages" of understanding autism[08:30] Autism is not a spectrum — it's a soup[10:15] Why the experts disagree: Lisa's experience with ABA therapy at age 13[13:45] Conflicting medication advice: SSRIs and autism[17:00] The disconnect between autism specialists and OCD specialists[19:30] Why your judgment as a parent matters[22:00] Mothers who suspected autism years before their child was diagnosed[24:30] Client story: How a mom's observations led to a PANS/PANDAS diagnosis[27:00] Why autism moms need real support, not platitudes[30:00] The gap in the system — and what Lisa's coaching practice is built to address[32:30] Closing: Visit theautismmomcoach.comResources MentionedThe Autism Mom Coach website: theautismmomcoach.comAbout Your HostLisa Candera is a lawyer, certified life coach, and mother to an 18-year-old son with autism. After years of searching for support that actually addressed what she was going through as a parent — and not finding it — she built The Autism Mom Coach to help other mothers of autistic children stop white-knuckling it and start parenting from a grounded, regulated place.

In honor of Autism Awareness Month, we're joined by María Jacobo, PhD — a mom, advocate and leading voice in the neurodiversity space. Through her personal journey, María has supported her own family while also spending the past decade creating meaningful opportunities for autistic adults to thrive.

In this episode of Motherish, we talk about parenting, advocacy and how we can all move toward a more inclusive and understanding world.

Thanks, but that one was coordinated by Jo Ashline.   NICOLE'S POST I hate Autism Awareness Month. It stirs up so many emotions- anger, grief, and frustration for everything autism has taken from my son. Dear Syngap, It's me again. You'd think after all this time, we'd have some kind of understanding. But we don't. We never will. You barged into our lives uninvited, turned our world upside down, and refused to leave. You've taught me lessons I never asked for, dragged us down roads we never wanted to travel. You've humbled me, broken me, enraged me. I've cried because of you. Screamed into the silence. Begged the universe for answers it refuses to give. I've celebrated victories that should have been simple, ordinary things—but with you lurking in the shadows, nothing is ever simple. If I'm being honest, I hate you. I hate what you've done to my son. I hate that you've taken things from him that should have been his without question—his voice, his strength, his ease of movement, his peace. One day, he climbs like he was born to conquer mountains. The next, he struggles to take a step. You're a thief, Syngap. You steal his vision, rob him of his muscle tone, drain his energy until even smiling feels like work. You wrap yourself around his body, his mind, his very existence, and no matter how hard I fight, you never let go. You make him miserable. And I hate you for it. You turn his nights into a battlefield, his sleep stolen by seizures, restlessness, and the chaos you planted in his brain. You keep his words locked inside, hidden in a place I can't reach. And God, how I wish I could reach them. How I wish I could hear his thoughts, understand the words he wants so badly to say. Instead, I watch. I listen. I hold him when the frustration turns to tears, when his body betrays him, when he fights a battle most will never see. People don't see what I see. They don't hear the cries in the middle of the night or witness the exhaustion in his body. They don't see the war raging inside him. And me? I've been called crazy, overprotective, dramatic. But I don't care. I'll wear those labels like armor. Because as long as my son is fighting, I will fight harder. You tried to take so much from us. You tried to steal my marriage, tried to break my family apart, tried to strip away our joy. You've knocked us down, over and over again. But listen to me, Syngap: you will never have us. And here's the strangest thing. For all the hell you've put us through, you've also given me things I never expected. You've made me stronger than I ever thought possible. You've forced me to fight with a fierceness I didn't know I had. You've shown me how to love deeper, to celebrate what others overlook, to appreciate moments most take for granted. You take and you take—but somehow, you also build. You break, yet somehow, you make us unbreakable. But hear me loud and clear: you don't win. Tomorrow, my son will wake up, and despite you, he will rise. He will smile. He will fight. He will accomplish things you never thought he could. And I? I'll be there, standing beside him, fighting for him, daring you to try and stop us. You don't get the final say, Syngap. Not today. Not ever. My son is more than you. And you have underestimated his mother. Sincerely, A Syngap Momma

In this episode of the Autism Little Learners podcast, we dive into the shift from autism awareness to autism acceptance, emphasizing the importance of listening to autistic voices.  We explore the history of autism, the evolution of diagnostic criteria, and the rise of the neurodiversity movement, which advocates for the acceptance of neurological differences as a natural part of human diversity. The significance of neurodiversity-affirming practices in education and therapy is also addressed as we aim to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for autistic children. Takeaways Autism awareness has shifted to autism acceptance. Listening to autistic voices is crucial for understanding. The puzzle piece symbol implies something is missing. Masking can harm the mental health of autistic individuals. Autism acceptance promotes inclusion and support. Neurodiversity is a valuable aspect of human diversity. Strengths of neurodivergent individuals should be celebrated. The neurodiversity movement challenges traditional views. Identity first language respects autistic individuals. Neurodiversity affirming practices enhance support for autistic people.   Links to learn more from autistic adults: https://www.jordynzimmerman.com/ https://autisticadvocacy.org/
