Can being autistic make a person a great detective? According to writer Tim Sullivan the answer is yes. He's created a main character, Detective Sargent George Cross, whose sense of justice, attention to detail and systematic approach to crime-solving gives him a distinct advantage. In an authentic portrayal of an autistic character Tim reveals why he writes about George and tells how George has become an endearing character in his books. This Cambridge-educated, screenwriter-turned-novelist demonstrates the importance of acceptance and the qualities that make autistics shine.Tim Sullivan's Websites: US  UKTim's booksSupport the showRATED IN THE TOP 0.5% GLOBALLY with more than 1.2 million downloads!

Adam and Dr. Drew react to a clip of Helen Andrews explaining psychological differences between men and women, then Adam plays a news segment that stunned him—a mother claiming her 8‑year‑old can't sleep because they're afraid ICE agents will break in and kidnap them. They go on to talk about people who act nice but have dishonest intentions, rant about not knowing or caring about anyone's birthday and why they're fine with that, and wrap up by reacting to a brutal clip of Tim Walz getting grilled over Minnesota fraud.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Jenna Goldstein, a late-diagnosed Autistic school psychologist who left the public education system after recognising its incompatibility with neurodiversity-affirming practice.Jenna first recognised her own autism after her three-year-old daughter was identified. As she turned to Autistic voices for understanding, what began as advocacy for her child became a deeper self-recognition. Within months, she self-identified, and years later sought a formal diagnosis from an Autistic evaluator to connect more dots and model an Autistic identity for her children.This is a conversation about human rights, blueprint-building, leaving systems that harm, and crafting lives that actually work for autistic nervous systems.

Our guest this week is Dan Roth of San Diego, CA who is a seasoned human resource consultant, professional speaker and perhaps most importantly, father of twin girls, who are both autistic. Dan and his wife, Jennifer, have been married for 8 years and are the proud parents of 6 ½ year old twin daughters Haley & Brooklyn, who are autistic.In addition to being the parent to young autistic twins daughters, Dan has become somewhat of an expert in the area of body dysmorphia, which he experienced as a child and young adult.  On January 30, 2026, Dan was privileged to make a TEDx Talk at the Houston Dream To Dare event.  The topic of his talk was: How We Can Shape our Children through Transparency.It's an authentic and upligting story that deserves more attention all on this episode of the SFN Dad to Dad Podcast.Show Notes - Phone – (619) 455-7484Email – dan.roth4@gmail.comLinkedIn –  https://www.linkedin.com/in/danrothstrategy/TEDx Talk How We Can Shape our Children through Transparency - https://www.tedxthirdward.com/Order your copy of the new 21CD book: Dads Raising Chidlren With Special Needs & Disabilities: A Guide For 21st Century Dads on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4tdvjcvJoin 21CD on the SFN U.S. Tour, a 30 day, 50 state, 60+ stop tour taking place from May 21 to June 21, 2026: to strengthen and grow the Special Fathers Network as well as give away copies of our new book.  Special Fathers Network –SFN is a dad to dad mentoring program for fathers raising children with special needs. Many of the 800+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: “I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated.  There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through.”SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do.

Simon is away on holiday, so please enjoy this re-run while he gets some much-needed sunshine! In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott are joined by in-house therapist Ashley Bentley to explore the key differences between autistic men and women. We discuss how traits like repetitive behaviours and emotional expression show up differently, and the diagnostic biases and misogynistic societal expectations that affect late or missed diagnoses in women.

In this episode, Zach sits down with speech-language pathologists Maggie and Francie, hosts of Tell Me About It: An SLP Podcast (‪@tellmeaboutitslp‬), to unpack the explosive claims made in the wildly popular Telepathy Tapes. The series suggests that some non-speaking autistic individuals can communicate telepathically, but when communication experts listened closely, they saw a different story. Drawing on their backgrounds in speech science and psychology, Maggie and Francie break down the communication methods featured in the podcast, including Spelling to Communicate (S2C), AAC, and the controversial history of facilitated communication. They explore how unconscious cueing, tiny signals like posture, breathing, or eye movement, can shape responses without anyone realizing it, and why extraordinary claims require careful scientific testing. The conversation also tackles the emotional side of the issue: how well-meaning parents can be drawn into pseudoscience, and how clinicians can support non-speaking individuals with compassion while staying grounded in evidence-based communication tools. Guest bios: Maggie Johnson is a speech-language pathologist who has worked with children across schools, homes, and clinical settings. She is also the founder and owner of Bright Light Language in St. Louis, Missouri. Francie Collins is a speech-language pathologist specializing in pediatric communication and has an academic background in psychology. Together, Maggie and Francie host Tell Me About It: An SLP Podcast, where they explore topics in speech-language pathology, communication science, and evidence-based clinical practice.   MAGGIE JOHNSON LINKS: Tell Me About It Podcast (YouTube): https://www.youtube.com/@tellmeaboutitslp Tell Me About It (Spotify): https://bit.ly/4djwFgd  Bright Light Language: https://www.brightlightlanguage.com/ Instagram (Tell Me About It): https://www.instagram.com/tellmeaboutitslp/  Instagram (Bright Light): https://www.instagram.com/brightlightlanguage/   FRANCIE COLLINS: Tell Me About It Podcast (YouTube): https://www.youtube.com/@tellmeaboutitslp Tell Me About It (Spotify): https://bit.ly/4djwFgd Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/franciehcollins/  

Dr. Drew opens the show reflecting on how emotional it is to look back on all the great times he and Adam had in their early days, while Adam talks about fans who approach him at shows to express their appreciation and how that actually makes him feel. He reflects on the passing of his beloved dog Phil, gets sentimental about the “In Memoriam” segment at the recent actor awards and the loss of so many performers from his childhood, and then he and Dr. Drew react to a clip of Katie Porter holding up a “F*ck Trump” sign during a speech, followed by a Hillary Clinton meltdown at a hearing that leads Adam to break down the different ways men and women respond when they're pushed, pressured, and nagged.

In this week's episode I talk about why traveling has been hard for me with my AuDHD, some past experiences I've had on trips (needing sometimes a full month to recover!), and how I approached my trip this past weekend as an experiment to explore a few questions: 1. Do I have an easier time coming home if I am not the one who has to drive?2. Do I have an easier time coming home if the primary objective of the trip is to rest and relax?3. Do I have an easier time coming home if I have maintained a threshold connection to my routines at home?

DML and Miss Mary debate over the autistic man who hijacked NYC trains 1,000 times.

In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Amy Kriewaldt, a late-diagnosed Autistic, ADHD, and PDA mother of three neurodivergent children.Amy grew up a hyperlexic piano prodigy, praised for talent and performance while quietly navigating sensory overwhelm, situational mutism, perfectionism, and crushing internal expectations. It wasn't until her children began receiving diagnoses that she started to recognise herself in their traits, and ultimately heard the words that changed everything: “Oh, I think you're Autistic.”Together, Angela and Amy explore hyperlexia, auditory processing differences, late self-recognition, self-compassion, memoir writing as a reframing, ADHD medication, self-medication through alcohol and caffeine, and the shift from compliance-based education to connection-centred learning.This is a conversation about reframing failure, advocating fiercely, rewriting your past, and building systems that support autistic people across the lifespan.

In this episode of the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate is joined by Dr Kati Peditto, Founding Researcher at the Built Experience Lab and a leading voice in neuroaffirming design - an approach that centres lived experience and views neurodivergence as an identity to be supported, not a problem to be solved.As an Autistic woman with ADHD, Kati brings both lived experience and research insight to a conversation many late-diagnosed women will recognise, the quiet, everyday ways our environments can either support our nervous systems or leave us feeling overwhelmed, exhausted and “too much”.Together, they explore the hidden impacts of our built environments and the origins of common design practices, as well as the design assumptions made and their contribution to stress, burnout, and self-doubt for neurodivergent women.This episode offers validation, language and practical ways to think differently about your environment and your needs.My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available.

If you think you don't have autistic clients in your practice… think again.In this episode of Supervision Simplified, Dr. Amy Parks sits down with Jamie Roberts, LMFT — therapist, author, speaker, and founder of NeuroPebble — to unpack what clinicians often miss about neurodiversity in therapy and supervision.From late diagnoses and masking to the gaps in graduate training, this conversation challenges the idea of a “typical brain” and explores how neuroaffirming practice changes the way we supervise, treat, and support clients.We discuss: • Why most clinicians underestimate how many autistic clients they serve • The difference between neurodiversity as a social model vs. a medical model • What grad school didn't teach us about autism and ADHD • How supervision can either reinforce or dismantle neuro-normative assumptions • Universal design in supervision and training • Why flexibility — not rigid scripts — creates better cliniciansIf you are a supervisor, supervisee, or practicing therapist, this episode will challenge your assumptions and expand your lens.The legacy of supervision starts here.

"You don't look autistic." Four words that might seem like a compliment but can deeply invalidate an autistic person's identity and lived experience.   In this bonus episode, I'm unpacking why these well-meaning comments are actually microaggressions: small, accumulating emotional paper cuts that affect not just autistic individuals, but their partners, families, and friends too.   I'm drawing from 20+ years in the field and my own experience raising an autistic daughter to explain how outdated stereotypes, confirmation bias, and gaps in professional training lead to widespread misdiagnosis and dismissal. I'm also diving into masking—why autistic people learn to mask, and the real cost it carries.   Autism doesn't have a look, but it does deserve to be seen.

What if we could safely practice real-world situations before our students ever experience them?In this episode, I'm joined by Marsha and Rita from Floreo to talk about how virtual reality is supporting autistic learners in building social, communication, safety, and life skills. Floreo is a VR platform that allows learners to step into immersive environments like airport security lines, grocery stores, and even digital conversations, all while being coached in real time by a therapist, teacher, or parent.What I love most is how functional these lessons are. From responding to TSA questions to recognizing red flags in online interactions, these scenarios reflect the real challenges our students face. We also discuss the growing research behind VR-assisted therapy, including published studies showing improvements in social skills and skill maintenance.We talk through how VR can fit naturally into speech therapy and ABA sessions, with pre-teaching, guided practice, and generalization built in. Plus, we cover funding options, including school-based access and the temporary VR-assisted therapy billing modifier 0770T.Technology is powerful when it's clinically driven, and this conversation highlights how innovation can truly empower our learners.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:How VR supports social, communication, and life skillsResearch behind VR-assisted therapyWays to integrate VR into speech and ABA sessionsMentioned In This Episode:FloreoVREarn CEUs with a community of peers.

It's already March, and we are quickly approaching Spring Break season when different school districts have those breaks scattered over the next 4-6 weeks. Seeing a flare-up in behavior problems is not unusual during this time. There are highly severe sensory and emotional dysregulations happening with many students, and our goal should not be punishment. We need to appropriately address these behaviors that might be outside of the student's control, especially those that are a result of a disability. Join us for today's discussion about Functional Behavioral Assessments (FBAs) and Behavioral Intervention Plans (BIPs).Show Highlights:The first step in an FBA is to collect data to define and describe the behaviors.Sensory overload, avoidance, and seeking attention are common challenges that cause dysregulated behaviors.Unmet needs have to be understood and met before behaviors can be regulated; this is where a BIP comes in.A BIP can be helpful when “the behavior is affecting a student's learning or the learning of others.”Autistic students may use masking behaviors at school and explode later.How FBAs compare to the former Functional Analysis AssessmentDefining behavior in assessments should follow the ABC format: antecedent, behavior, and consequence.We must teach both preventive and reactive coping skills.The BIP should be checked and thoroughly evaluated after 30-60 days.Amanda's advice to parents about getting the most out of a BIPVickie's advice to teachers about implementing a BIPResources:Contact us on social media or through our website for more information on the IEP Learning Center: www.inclusiveeducationproject.org.Thank you for listening!Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to the show to receive every new episode delivered straight to your podcast player every Tuesday.

In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Claire Samuels, a proud Autistic speech-language pathologist whose journey to self-recognition unfolded inside the very system she would later question.Claire began her career as a Registered Behaviour Technician (RBT) in the ABA industry, believing what she was told: that ABA was the gold standard for Autistic children. She loved the kids she worked with and believed she was making a positive impact. But as she read autistic voices, learned about interoception, and began recognising her own sensory and regulatory differences, cracks in the framework began to show.Together, Angela and Claire explore ABA, nuance, Autistic self-recognition, masking, sensory processing, burnout, and what it means to move from compliance-based therapy to connection-based communication.This episode is about shifting lenses, from behaviour to nervous systems, from control to connection, and from moral judgment to regulation.

This week, Emily sits down with advisory teacher Rebecca Duffus, and neurodiversity advocate Lyric Rivera, to discuss the critical shift from viewing autism as a purely medical diagnosis to embracing it as a core identity. Lyric shares their personal journey of late discovery and the complex emotions that accompany it, from grief to validation. Rebecca provides some insight into the importance of authentic, affirming language. They also discuss how to empower autistic youth to advocate for their needs, navigate a world that isn't always accommodating, and ultimately discover the power of being exactly who they are. Rebecca and Lyric are co-authors of Autism, Identity and Me. TAKEAWAYS Identity vs pathology is all about framing autism as a core identity, rather than strictly a medical diagnosis or a list of deficits. Late-diagnosis autism often results in a complex cocktail of emotions, including grief, anger, and eventually relief. There is a crucial difference between forcing an upbeat perspective, and using language that genuinely validates an autistic person's lived experience. Equipping, not just protecting, will help autistic kids understand neurodiversity, handle misunderstandings, and utilize an autism identity statement for self-advocacy. There is a shifting landscape of autism support, language, and systemic challenges in the US, especially compared to the UK. Mental health professionals, join us for our next live 90-minute CE training, Inherited Neurodivergence: Supporting Parents' Identity Journeys, featuring presenter, Dr. Amy Marschall. The event is Friday, March 6 at 2:00 pm Eastern/11:00 am Pacific. It's approved for continuing education through the American Psychological Association and the National Board of Certified Counselors. If you can't make it live, you can still register for the self-study version. Rebecca Duffus, BSc, PGCE, MA, is an experienced Advisory Teacher with a background in psychology and a master's in Autism and Education. Based in the UK, she has worked across mainstream and specialist education settings, as well as with local councils, charities, and educational services to support autistic students and the professionals who serve them. Rebecca is the author of Autism, Identity & Me, a workbook and guidebook set published by Routledge in both the U.S. and the UK. She regularly speaks at conferences, develops parent programmes, and provides training and coaching for educators and schools. Her work centers on supporting identity-affirming practices and building inclusive, informed environments for neurodivergent learners. Lyric Rivera is the founder of NeuroDivergent Consulting and the author of the best-selling business ethics book Workplace Neurodiversity Rising, praised by Forbes as "an excellent 'how-to manual' based on lived experience and professional competence," and named a "Trend for 2023." A prominent voice in the neurodiversity movement, Lyric is also the creator of the popular blog NeuroDivergent Rebel and the originator of the #AskingAutistics hashtag, which has sparked wide-reaching conversations about the Autistic experience. Through their writing, consulting, and online advocacy, Lyric helps organizations and individuals build more inclusive, neurodiversity-affirming environments. Their work fosters connection and understanding across communities and empowers neurodivergent people to be heard, supported, and celebrated.

In this episode, we examine the complexities of neurodiversity within clinical environments and higher education. Dr. Devon Price discusses the nuances of masking, strategies for navigating academic systems as a neurodivergent individual, and the unique dynamics of concordant care, specifically when both the provider and the patient share neurodivergent identities. We also explore practical approaches for better supporting neurodivergent patients in the clinical setting to ensure more effective, identity-affirming healthcare.Devon Price, PhD, is a social psychologist, professor, author, and proud Autistic person. His research has appeared in journals such as the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, and the Journal of Positive Psychology. Devon's writing has appeared in outlets such as the Financial Times, HuffPost, Slate, Jacobin, Business Insider, LitHub, and on PBS and NPR.

Fat Joe LOSES IT After His Opps Kidnapped His Autistic Son

Why are morning routines and bedtime routines so hard for ADHD and autistic kids? If your mornings feel chaotic… If bedtime turns into battles… If you've tried "sleep hygiene," reward charts, reminders, and it still falls apart… This episode is for you. In this conversation, I sit down with occupational therapist Dr. Peyton Gemmell to talk about why routines are especially difficult for neurodivergent kids and teens — and what actually helps. Here's what I need you to hear: It's not laziness. It's not defiance. It's executive functioning, sensory processing, transitions, and overwhelm. We break down: • Why morning chaos happens in ADHD and autistic children • How executive functioning impacts routines • Why traditional sleep hygiene advice often isn't enough • The role of sensory regulation in bedtime struggles • How to identify which part of the routine is actually hard • Simple, practical systems that reduce overwhelm (including a powerful visual basket strategy) • How to reduce shame while building real-life skills We also talk about something parents don't hear enough: The same routine will not work forever. Neurodivergent brains need toolkits — not rigid systems. Whether you're a parent, therapist, educator, or a neurodivergent adult trying to build sustainable routines, this episode offers practical, compassionate strategies rooted in neurodiversity-affirming care. If you're tired of feeling frustrated before 8am… If you want to support your child without increasing shame… If you're ready for systems that actually make sense… Press play. Sincerely, Holly Blanc Moses, The Mom/Neurodivergent Therapist P.S. I've got more goodness for you!

This week we talk to Dr. Emily Hotez from UCLA, (and a sibling to an autistic adult) who has focused her research on reducing stigma and marginalization, which will ultimately improve research participation to increase scientifically valid options for families. She also works on a nationwide project to improve health outcomes in autistic individuals, from birth through adulthood. Her new project focuses on chronic stress on physical health in adolescents with autism. She explains the focus of her research, the study and why it is important, and other work she is doing to improve health care in those with a diagnosis and their family members.

This episode breaks down autism and intuition from the circuitry up. Intuition isn't magic—it's prediction. And in the autistic brain, that prediction system runs differently. Instead of compressing uncertainty into fast social “gut feelings,” autistic cognition preserves high-resolution detail, sustains prediction error, and builds insight through iterative modeling. Sensory cortex, parietal salience maps, insula, amygdala, OFC, and ACC all play a role in a system that prioritizes structural truth over social smoothing.We explore excitation–inhibition balance, oscillations, dopamine learning, and von Economo neurons to show how intuition in autism isn't diminished—it's reconstructed. Insight may arrive later, but when it does, it's deeply refined. This is a neuroscience-driven look at why autistic minds resolve uncertainty through coherence, not conformity—and why that difference matters.This episode will also explain WHY the Autistic phenotype has ACCELERATED LEARNING abilities. use "autism" for $50 off at Daylight Computer Company https://buy.daylightcomputer.com/autismand Daylight Kids https://kids.daylightcomputer.com/autismChroma Light Devices, use "autism" for 10% discount at https://getchroma.co/?ref=autism0:00 Autism & Intuition Introduction; Autos (“Self”) and Sensory Overload0:53 Daylight Computer Company, Daylight Kids & Chroma Light Devices (Technology, Biology, Light)3:26 What Intuition Really Is: Sensory Integration, Prediction, Memory, and Value5:02 Neurotypical vs Autistic Intuition; Prediction Error, E/I Balance, Iterative Processing7:00 Sensory Cortex & Higher Signal Fidelity; Prediction Errors and Raw Detail Preservation11:30 Posterior Parietal Cortex; Salience Maps, Anomaly Detection, Truth vs Social Narrative13:30 Anterior Insula & Amygdala; Interoception, Emotional Salience, Feeling vs Thinking17:30 Orbitofrontal Cortex; Value Computation, Internal Coherence vs Social Reward19:30 ACC Conflict Monitoring; Risk–Reward, Persistence, Errors23:30 The Learning Gate: Why Autism Enables Accelerated Mastery24:45 Von Economo (Spindle) Neurons; ACC–Insula Fast Intuition Pathway and Autism Differences28:40 Iterative Learning Loop; Prefrontal Modeling, Basal Ganglia Dopamine, Structural Coherence35:50 Autos (“Self”), Jung, Recursive Modeling, and Why Autistic Intuition Is Built—Not GivenX: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGxEzLKXkjppo3nqmpXpzuAemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

This past Sunday, we heard from a member of our church, Angela Molloy, a doctoral candidate in the joint Iliff School of Theology/Denver University program and the Disability Ministries Committee Chair for the Greater Northwest Conference of the United Methodist Church who challenged us to identify God's agapētos (beloveds) today who the Divine is begging us to listen to, including our siblings of color, Palestinians in Gaza, Disabled and Autistic beloveds, immigrant siblings, God's Queer and Trans beloveds, unhoused neighbors, and more. 

There's a long-held idea that autism is more prevalent in boys than girls—the CDC says it's three times as common. But a growing body of research suggests the reality is more complicated. In a new study, researchers tracked autism diagnoses in millions of Swedish people born from 1985 to 2022. They found that the prevalence of autism is actually pretty even across the sexes, but people with “female” stamped on their birth certificate are often diagnosed later in life.  Host Flora Lichtman speaks with epidemiologist Caroline Fyfe about what this study teaches us about the prevalence of autism. Then, psychology researcher Rachel Moseley, an autistic woman herself, shares how late and missed diagnoses can affect autistic people. Guests: Dr. Caroline Fyfe is an epidemiologist at the University of Edinburgh who studied sex differences in autism diagnoses.  Dr. Rachel Moseley is a researcher in psychology at Bournemouth University in the UK, studying the experiences of autistic adults.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

In this meeting of The Late Diagnosis Club, Dr Angela Kingdon welcomes Julie Farrell, a late-diagnosed Autistic and ADHD writer, activist, and co-founder of The Inklusion Guide, a resource dedicated to making literature events accessible to disabled people.Julie shares her slow, layered journey toward understanding her neurodivergence — from burnout, migraines, and chronic illness labels, to finding herself mirrored in Autistic writers like Katherine May, to sobbing through the documentary Seeing the Unseen and finally knowing in her bones.Together, Angela and Julie explore masking, shutdowns mislabelled as anxiety, CPTSD, creative identity, freelance work as nervous system regulation, and the relief of receiving a diagnosis in a supportive, affirming environment. They also talk about ADHD medication, menstrual cycle titration, EMDR therapy, and what it feels like to “precipitate out of the hot goo” and become solid for the first time.This episode is also about Autistic joy — about stars, navigation, grief, and how Julie's late father taught her to look up at the night sky and find her way.

Karen Young, 38, faces a child endangering charge after police say she allowed a man living with her to whip her 8-year-old, developmentally challenged son with a belt. Court documents state that Josh Griffin, 33, had been living with Young and the boy for the last three months in Loveland, Ohio. A local tv station reported that a prosecutor told a judge that Griffin whipped the autistic boy on a school bus for "acting out" and that the incident was recorded by surveillance video. Griffin also faces domestic violence and endangering children charges.

Here is the conclusion of “The Siblings Perspective”. With Mayah Gallego younger sister to twin Autistic brothers and our son Graydon Carr, 3 years older than our daughter Taylor. We hope you get some great information and new perspectives listening to both our guest.

For years, autistic play has been misunderstood, redirected, or even discouraged. But what if the very things we've been trying to "fix" are actually authentic expressions of joy, regulation, and connection? In this replay of my powerful conversation with nationally recognized pediatric SLP, speaker, and neurodiversity-affirming advocate Cari Ebert, we explore why autistic play is real play — and why honoring it changes everything. Together, we unpack deep interests, regulation-first teaching, expanding play without pressure, and what it truly means to presume competence. This episode will gently challenge old assumptions and give you practical, relationship-based strategies you can use right away. In This Episode, You'll Learn Why autistic children play differently — and why different doesn't mean wrong The difference between wide interests and deep interests How honoring deep interests builds meaningful connection and communication What "regulate, reach, teach" looks like in real classrooms and therapy sessions Why compliance-based approaches often lead to dysregulation How to expand play schemes without pressure or power struggles What it truly means to presume competence Why autistic joy deserves to be protected and celebrated Key Takeaways Autistic play is authentic play Different does not mean deficient Connection builds communication Regulation must come before instruction Behavior is communication, especially during dysregulation Deep interests are powerful pathways to learning Presuming competence can unlock incredible potential Honor autistic joy Try This Choose one child this week and intentionally shift your lens. Observe their deep interest without interrupting or redirecting Join their play through parallel play — without an agenda Model one small expansion (no pressure, no hand-over-hand) Adjust one environmental factor to support regulation Reframe one "behavior" by asking: What is the why behind this? Small shifts in perspective can create big shifts in connection.

We see regulation increase. We see connection deepen. We see communication grow. And most importantly — we protect autistic joy. Autistic children become autistic adults. The way we respond to their play today shapes how they experience themselves tomorrow. Let's honor their joy.  

DML's morning insight on a hot topic trending in the United States.

When I was in first grade, I had a plan for Valentine's Day. A very thoughtful, very Holly plan. Every classmate was getting a Valentine. But not every classmate was getting the same coin taped inside. There were the quarter kids. The dime kids. The nickel kids. The penny kids. And one classmate got nothing. My teacher was not happy. My parents were not happy. And not one single adult that day asked me why I did it. That part — the part where no one asked — is what this episode is really about. In this episode, I talk about: ▸  The full story of the Valentine's Day coin system (and why, at seven years old, it made complete sense to me) ▸  What actually happens in a child's nervous system and sense of self when adults skip curiosity and go straight to correction ▸  Why neurodivergent kids stop explaining themselves — and what we accidentally teach them when we don't listen ▸  The one thing I wish an adult had said to me that day — and how you can say it to the kids in your life ▸  A direct challenge: How do YOU want to show up in the next hard moment? This episode is for parents, therapists, and educators who want to be the person an autistic and adhd child actually feels safe with. The one who asks before they assume. The one who listens before they correct. It's also for anyone who grew up being the kid that no one asked. You'll know who you are.

In this episode we hear from Jennifer McGee, a visual artist and advocate for autism. Jennifer shares her transformative journey of adopting her non-verbal autistic nephew, Isaiah, and becoming his devoted guardian and advocate.

Jennifer describes the challenges they faced, the resources they utilized, and the incredible progress Isaiah has made. She also touches upon her aspirations to foster inclusion and neurodiverse participation through her initiative, Inclusive Art House, and her efforts in the autism advocacy space. J ennifer's story is a testament to the power of love, persistence, and community in transforming lives impacted by autism.
