☀️ BEST of Summer SeriesThis episode is part of our BEST of Summer Series, where I'm revisiting some of the most impactful, most downloaded, and most shared episodes from the Not Your Average Autism Mom podcast.Originally released as Episode 227, They're Not Ignoring You: It's a Skill Gap is one of those episodes that changes how parents see one of autism's most misunderstood challenges.Whether you're listening for the first time or coming back for a refresher, I hope this episode gives you exactly what you need today.Summer gives us something we don't always have during the school year...Time.Time to slow down, connect, and intentionally build the skills our children need most.If you've ever felt like your child ignores you, doesn't respond when you call their name, or seems completely focused on objects, screens, or their own interests, this episode is for you.Because here's the truth:They're not ignoring you.They're missing a skill.Attention to people is a foundational skill that many autistic children need to be intentionally taught. And the wonderful news is... skills can be built.In this episode, Shannon explains why attention to people is so challenging for many autistic children and shares practical, age-specific strategies you can begin using today.You'll learn:• Why attention to people is a learned skill—not a behavior problem• Why many autistic children naturally attend to objects before people• How autism and ADHD together can make attention even more challenging• Practical strategies for toddlers, school-age children, teens, and young adults• Everyday ways to build connection without pressure or power struggles• Why meeting your child where they are is always the best place to beginOne of the biggest takeaways from this episode is this:Connection comes before correction.When we understand the "why" behind our child's behavior, we stop taking it personally and start teaching the skills they need to succeed.

☀️ BEST of Summer SeriesThis episode is part of our BEST of Summer Series, where I'm revisiting some of the most impactful, most downloaded, and most shared episodes from the Not Your Average Autism Mom podcast.Originally released as Episode 240, Pragmatic Language: Why It Matters and How to Help Your Child Build It continues to be one of the episodes parents tell me changed the way they think about communication.Whether you're listening for the first time or coming back for a refresher, I hope this episode gives you exactly what you need today.Summer is one of the best times to help your child build pragmatic language skills.From ordering at a restaurant and greeting neighbors to taking turns in conversations and navigating family gatherings, everyday summer moments create opportunities to practice the social side of communication in real life.Pragmatic language is about so much more than talking.It's the invisible set of social rules that help conversations flow, friendships grow, and relationships develop. And for many autistic children, it's one of the biggest communication challenges they face.In this episode, Shannon explains what pragmatic language really is, why it matters so much, and how you can help your child strengthen these skills without making it feel like therapy.You'll learn:• What pragmatic language is and why it matters• Why many autistic children struggle with the social side of communication• Practical ways to build these skills during everyday activities• How to use summer outings as natural teaching opportunities• Simple strategies to help your child gain confidence in conversations• Why connection—not perfection—is always the goalCommunication isn't just about words.It's about understanding people, building relationships, and feeling connected to the world around us.And every conversation is an opportunity to grow.

☀️ BEST of Summer SeriesThis episode is part of our BEST of Summer Series, where we're revisiting some of the most impactful, most downloaded, and most shared episodes from the Not Your Average Autism Mom podcast.Originally released as Episode 221, When Behavior Speaks: Medical Insights into Autism Aggression continues to be one of the conversations that has helped parents look beyond behavior and ask a different question:"What if my child's behavior is trying to tell me something?"Whether you're listening for the first time or coming back for a refresher, I hope this episode gives you exactly what you need today.Summer often brings changes in routine, sleep schedules, travel, heat, different foods, and increased sensory demands. For many autistic children, those changes can lead to an increase in challenging behaviors—including aggression.But what if aggression isn't simply "bad behavior"?What if it's communication?In this episode, Shannon explores the often-overlooked medical factors that can contribute to aggressive behavior and why it's so important to look for the why before assuming it's purely behavioral.You'll learn:• Why aggression is often a form of communication• Medical issues that may contribute to challenging behaviors, including gastrointestinal concerns, hidden pain, vitamin deficiencies, hormonal changes, and more• Why "it's just autism" isn't always the complete answer• How to advocate for further medical evaluation when something doesn't feel right• Practical strategies for working with healthcare providers to uncover potential root causes• Why understanding the "why" behind behavior changes everythingThis episode is a reminder that behavior always has meaning. Sometimes the answer is behavioral. Sometimes it's medical. And sometimes it's both.When we stay curious instead of making assumptions, we become better advocates for our children.

☀️ BEST of Summer SeriesThis episode is part of our BEST of Summer Series, where I'm revisiting some of the most impactful, most downloaded, and most shared episodes from the Not Your Average Autism Mom podcast.Originally released as Episode 248, Reset & Reconnect: What to Do After You Lose Your Lane (and You Will) continues to be one of the conversations that resonates most with moms raising autistic children.Whether you're listening for the first time or coming back for a refresher, I hope it gives you exactly what you need today.Summer has a way of stretching us.Schedules change.

And sometimes, despite our very best intentions, we lose our lane.Maybe you snap.Maybe you raise your voice.Maybe you react in a way you wish you hadn't.Here's what I want you to know...You're human.And what matters most isn't that you never lose your lane—it's knowing how to find your way back.In this episode, Shannon shares practical strategies to help you reset after difficult moments and reconnect with your child, your family, and yourself without getting stuck in guilt.You'll learn:• Why life's busiest seasons put everyone's nervous system under more stress• What a realistic reset looks like after you've reacted in a way you regret• How to reconnect with your autistic child after a difficult moment• Why repair is often more powerful than perfection• Practical ways to move forward instead of carrying guilt for days• Why losing your lane doesn't make you a bad momIf you've ever finished a hard day wishing you could have handled it differently, this episode is your reminder that tomorrow—and sometimes the next five minutes—is another opportunity to begin again.

It's Day 3 of Summer Game Fest 2026, and I sat down with content creator Cam Hawkins to break down the best games of the show.We get into Cam's game of the show — Phantom Blade Zero and its razor-sharp parry combat — a stunning hands-off Onimusha demo (and how the two release just a month apart), the absolutely stacked fall release calendar around GTA VI, the Resident Evil Code Veronica remake, and Forever Ago, an emotional Annapurna indie about an old man grieving his wife on a road trip. Plus the games we missed (Clutch, Bub), the show's big horror lineup (Saw: Genesis, Silent Hill: Townfall, Alien: Isolation 2), the methodical combat of Stranger in Heaven, and why there were almost no sports games at SGF this year.

☀️ BEST of Summer SeriesThis episode is part of our BEST of Summer Series, where I'm revisiting some of the most impactful, most downloaded, and most shared episodes from the Not Your Average Autism Mom podcast.Originally released as Episode 143, Social Expectations vs Autism Reality continues to be one of the conversations that resonates most with moms raising autistic children.Whether you're listening for the first time or coming back for a refresher, I hope it gives you exactly what you need today.Summer often means more family gatherings, vacations, community events, restaurants, pools, camps, and outings. And with those experiences often comes something many autism families know all too well—society's expectations.We live in a world filled with unwritten social rules. Personal space. Physical touch. Conversation topics. Waiting in line. Reading social cues. For many neurotypical children, these expectations are picked up naturally. For our children, the social world can often feel confusing, overwhelming, and sometimes unfairly judgmental.In this episode, Shannon explores the gap between social expectations and autism reality—and the impact that gap can have on both our children and us as parents.You'll learn:• What social norms and boundaries really are• Why social expectations can be especially challenging for autistic children• How misunderstandings can lead to judgment, exclusion, and frustration• Why many autism parents feel pressure to meet society's expectations• How to shift your perspective and protect your peace• Ways to advocate for greater understanding and acceptance• Why your belief in your child matters more than public opinionShannon also discusses the emotional toll that social expectations can place on families and shares encouragement for parents who often feel caught between helping their child navigate the world and helping the world better understand their child.This episode is a reminder that while our children may experience the world differently, different does not mean less. Together, we can continue creating a more compassionate and inclusive world—one conversation at a time.

Cardiologist Dr. Alan Rozanski (listen to episode #214) tells us about the researched connection between purpose and heart health.

Check out this Best Of episode from 2019 with Summer Fawn Duncan before she married Jon Pardi and became Summer Pardi! Summer is stunning. She had a perfect life in California with her family (who raises all sorts of exotic animals) and running her hair salon which was thriving. But then her client insisted she meet this Country Cowboy Jon Pardi (her client is best friends with Jon’s mom and they arranged the setup). Their first date was Jon flying Summer to Colorado for a weekend of his shows. It could have ended in disaster but instead led to love. We talk about how Summer let go of control and learned to let her life flow which has led her to so much fun and fulfillment, the biggest fight she and Jon have ever had, over Christmas decorations, and the sentimental side of Jon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In our final Best Of Summer Series episode, your host, Shannon Urquiola dives into a critical issue that many parents and caregivers face: the impact of electronics on our kids and the risk of screen addiction. This topic is especially relevant for families raising children on the autism spectrum, who can be particularly vulnerable to the negative aspects of excessive screen time. Have you ever questioned the effects of social media, YouTube videos, and video games on your child's overall well-being? Do you find yourself encouraging them to go outside or read, only to see them choose screens over everything else? You're not alone. Shannon explores these common concerns, emphasizing that while electronics and the internet can be valuable tools, offering learning opportunities, connections, and entertainment, they also come with significant downsides. In this episode, Shannon discusses the pros and cons of screen time, highlighting how some families have discovered that the benefits of unplugging far outweigh the challenges. She addresses the issue of children, especially those on the spectrum, getting lost in a never-ending rabbit hole of screen time, missing out on real-life experiences. Shannon shares practical strategies and tools to help parents manage their children's screen time effectively, creating a healthier balance. This episode serves as a guide to understanding the impact of electronics on kids and offers actionable advice for fostering better habits.

In this episode, host Shannon Urquiola, Life and Parent Coach, goes deep into the unique dynamics parents face when raising autistic children, especially when their parenting styles don't align. Parenthood is often described as a rollercoaster of emotions, and it takes a unique turn when partners find themselves on opposite ends of the parenting spectrum. Are your differences in parenting currently a source of negativity and conflict in your relationship? Shannon explores this common scenario, where one parent often takes the lead in research and advocacy, while the other may have different perspectives on their child's behavior. Emphasizing the importance of unity in parenting, Shannon discusses the three main parenting styles: authoritarian, permissive, and authoritative. Recognizing and embracing each partner's parenting style is key. Shannon highlights the power of self-awareness and the willingness to adapt, noting that meaningful change starts with oneself. She also addresses how childhood experiences impact parenting styles, discussing how parents may unconsciously recreate or react against their upbringing. Listeners will gain practical strategies and actionable goals for fostering a healthy relationship between parents, including effective communication, private discussions, and avoiding disagreements in front of children. This episode serves as a guide for parents raising autistic children, offering a roadmap to navigate challenges, promote unity, and create a supportive environment for their child's unique needs.

In this Best Of Summer Series episode, we tackle the complex topic of societal expectations and social norms, particularly how they affect families raising children on the autism spectrum. Our society often values conformity and can overlook individual differences, which can be challenging for our kids. Social norms are the unwritten rules that dictate appropriate behavior in interactions. Neurotypical children usually pick up these norms naturally through observation, but for children on the spectrum, these social cues can be confusing and overwhelming. Understanding personal space, appropriate touch, and suitable conversation topics can be particularly difficult, leading to misunderstandings and sometimes negative perceptions from others. These societal expectations can take a toll on families like ours, causing emotional, mental, and even physical strain. Striving to meet these norms can leave parents feeling anxious, isolated, and worried that their child may be judged or excluded. But there's hope. By shifting our perspective and advocating for awareness, we can pave the way for a more inclusive and understanding world. Challenging societal expectations and promoting acceptance is crucial. As parents, we have the power to shape the lives of our children and unlock their fullest potential with unwavering belief in their abilities.

In this episode of our Best Of Summer Series, your host, Shannon Urquiola discusses processing speed and how it impacts our children on the autism spectrum. Processing speed is the time it takes for someone to take in information, make sense of it, and respond. This can be visual, auditory, or related to motor planning. For many of our children, processing speed can be a significant challenge. They might struggle with tasks that seem simple to others, like reading, listening, or physical activities such as tying their shoes. It's important to understand that slow processing speed isn't about intelligence. In fact, many very intelligent people process information slowly. It's just the way their brains work. Unfortunately, slow processing can affect many areas of their lives, including social interactions and school performance. People might mistakenly think that our kids are unmotivated, lazy, or unfocused, but that's usually not the case. In this episode, we'll explore how to support our kids by slowing down and adopting a less rushed approach to life. Sometimes, the best thing we can do is allow them to be themselves and move at their own pace. This understanding can make a huge difference in their confidence and overall well-being. Tune in to learn more about how we can create a supportive environment for our children and help them thrive.

In this "Best of Summer Series" episode, host Shannon Urquiola talks about the common challenge of perseveration in children on the autism spectrum. Perseveration, or getting stuck on a particular behavior, activity, or thought, can be a source of frustration for both parents and children. Shannon explores the reasons behind this phenomenon, emphasizing the weak executive functions in the frontal cortex of the brain that often contribute to the difficulty in shifting focus. Drawing from personal experiences and expert advice, the episode provides practical strategies for parents. From using warnings and visual timers to creating concrete endings and incorporating oneself into the child's activity, Shannon shares actionable tips for easing transitions. The episode highlights the importance of understanding that perseveration is a neurological challenge, requiring gentle assistance rather than demanding an immediate stop. Furthermore, Shannon addresses the emotional toll perseveration can take on parents and offers self-care strategies. The episode closes with a message of support, reminding listeners that they are not alone in facing these challenges and encouraging a sense of community strength.

If there is an OG meme in which a human is the star, Scumbag Steve is it. He spread across the internet like wildfire in 2011 as a universal representation of dudes who are the worst. And, like any person grappling with immediate internet fame, Blake Boston — the man behind Scumbag Steve — tried to capitalize: merch, rap songs, public appearances. But the full story of what happened to Blake — and his family — has never been told. The Scumbag Steve meme became a bargaining chip in a custody battle, a complicating factor in meeting his birth mother, the cause of fights with extended family members, a source of anxiety attacks, and an echo of trauma. In this episode, we go past the origin story of Scumbag Steve and learn about Blake's real struggles with PTSD and abuse — and how trauma has brought him and his mother, Susan Boston, even closer. 

In times like these, you've got to take joy wherever and however you can get it. Amory and Ben swap unexpected sources of joy they've bumped into recently — from a goblin-themed Reddit post, to the scariest toe talons on the internet, to a funky 1980's little-known bop about going to the beach on Massachusetts' North Shore.

Imagine if an explosion in California was so loud that it could be heard in New York City. This is the story of a real event that was just as loud — the loudest sound ever recorded in human history. This sound ripped across oceans in 1883, reaching people 3,000 miles away. Infrasonic pressure waves circled the globe four times. News of its destruction traveled through the early internet, the telegraph system, and altered the course of scientific history. In this episode of Endless Thread, we recreate this magnum opus — a hotly debated darling of Reddit — with the help of scholars and infrasonic scientists.
