Join us this week as we dive into a powerful conversation with Maggie Albrow, a special education teacher who brings a unique perspective to autism. Diagnosed herself and raising two children on the spectrum, she shares practical parenting strategies that anyone can use to better understand their child's needs, whether or not they have autism. We'll explore how her ISTJ personality shapes her approach and dive into her son's ISTP traits, showing how personality and autism intersect to create unique parenting paths. Plus, we'll break down the differences between high-functioning autism and a naturally withdrawn personality, offering valuable insights for parents looking to support and connect with their kids on a deeper level." My son Nathan demonstrated some symptoms when he was younger but as an adult he graduated magna cum laude with a pre med degree and  he is about to take the MCAT exam to get into med school. Here are some of those symptoms: Highly repetitive behaviors, such as hand-flapping, rocking, or repeating specific phrases. Unusual responses to sensory input, such as covering ears in noisy environments or fascination with particular textures. Limited eye contact or unusual speech patterns (e.g., very literal or highly scripted language). Difficulty with reciprocal social interactions, like sharing enjoyment or showing empathy in conventional ways. Many people on the autism spectrum tend to score as introverts (I types) on MBTI. Introversion doesn't cause or correlate with autism directly, but the inclination toward internal processing can align with certain experiences of autistic individuals, who may feel overstimulated by social interactions or need time alone to recharge. Social and Communication Challenges: People with autism may find it difficult to interpret social cues, understand nonverbal communication, or initiate and maintain conversations. Fe in backseat, especially INTPs. Repetitive Behaviors and Routines: Many individuals engage in repetitive behaviors, have strong preferences for routines, and may experience distress if these routines are disrupted. Si SJ Sensory Sensitivities: Many experience sensory sensitivities, reacting strongly to sights, sounds, textures, or smells that others may not notice or be affected by. Si, Se How often do sensory issues show up in autism and how do you handle these sensitivities? Intense Interests or Focused Hobbies: People with autism often develop deep interests in specific subjects or activities, sometimes with an exceptional level of detail or knowledge.

(Airdate: 4.1.25) NBC still hasn't settled on a replacement for Hoda Kotb on Today. But some are saying Kelly Clarkson might be a candidate...except that Kelly isn't looking to add to her already busy schedule.

Vicky Nguyen is the NBC News chief consumer investigative correspondent. In her new memoir, "Boat Baby", she shares her family's harrowing story of fleeing Vietnam in 1980, five years after the fall of Saigon.  Along the way, Nguyen's family relied on smugglers, encountered pirates, and eventually lived in a refugee camp on a beach in Malaysia, all while she was less than a year old.  Her family ultimately immigrated to the U.S., and she says her parents embraced the opportunity to give her a "great American childhood".  Nguyen opened up to Hoda about her decision to share her story. Through all the ups and downs of assimilation,  Nguyen says her book is "a love letter to America" - and to her parents.

Elle Macpherson is a supermodel, actress, and entrepreneur. Nicknamed "The Body" at the height of her modeling career, Macpherson appeared to have it all - but looking back, she says she didn't appreciate herself in her twenties and thirties, struggling with addiction and eventually entering rehab for alcoholism. Macpherson's sobriety renewed her commitment to health, and in 2014 she launched her wellness brand, WelleCo. Just three years later, after being diagnosed with breast cancer, she underwent two lumpectomies and chose a holistic approach over conventional treatment. Macpherson sat down with Hoda to talk about her career, her wellness journey and why she feels more alive than ever.

Do you have a friend who craves deep, meaningful conversations, champions your dreams, and feels emotions with unmatched intensity? If so, you might have an NF (Intuitive Feeler) friend! Known for their depth, passion, and emotional intelligence, NFs (ENFJ, INFJ, ENFP, INFP) are the visionaries, dreamers, and counselors of the friendship world. But with their high expectations, sensitivity, and desire for novelty, friendships with NFs can be both deeply rewarding and occasionally challenging. In this episode, we break down the NF friend using the TRUE framework (Trust, Respect, Understanding, Encouragement) to explore: ✅ Why NFs form soul-level connections but can struggle with feeling unseen or lonely. ✅ How their idealism and deep emotions impact friendships—for better or worse. ✅ Their love for novelty and growth—and how boredom can create restlessness. ✅ How to be a great friend to an NF—and what they need in return. If you're an NF, this episode will help you understand your friendship patterns and challenges. If you have an NF in your life, you'll gain insight into what makes them such inspiring and devoted friends.

Are you looking for a steady, dependable friend who always remembers birthdays, follows through on commitments, and shows up when it counts? Then you need an SJ friend! In this episode, we explore the Guardian temperament (SJ types: ESFJ, ISFJ, ESTJ, ISTJ)—the friends who hold everything together with their structure, loyalty, and strong sense of responsibility. But just like every type, SJs have friendship strengths and struggles. While they're incredibly reliable and thoughtful, they can also be overly rigid, controlling, or struggle with emotional connection and encouragement. Join me as we break down the SJ friend using the TRUE friendship framework: ✅ True – Their unmatched loyalty and dependability—but also their struggles with control and holding grudges. ✅ Respect – How SJs show up for others but sometimes struggle with boundaries or taking on too much responsibility. ✅ Understanding – The difference between emotionally attuned SFJs and logical, solution-focused STJs (and how that impacts listening and empathy). ✅ Encouragement – Why SJs show support through actions rather than words—and why SFJs may need reassurance but struggle to ask for it. Whether you're an SJ, have an SJ friend, or just want to deepen your understanding of different friendship dynamics, this episode is packed with insights, humor, and practical takeaways.

[EP 25-091] I will say this, President Trump brought a Glock 40 auto to a stick fight. The man had so much ammunition against the Left. And what I love most about Trump is he just doesn't give a crap about what people think about him.I'm getting busy, and playing catchup from my visit to Tampa, FL last week. Still there is plenty of news happening, though the revelations by President Trump were enlightening to say the least. Any report of President Trump's approval rating that is under 55% is a lie. It's closer to 90% if you dismiss the 30% who vote against anything sane.

Making friends as an adult is harder than anyone ever warned us about. Unlike childhood, where friendships formed effortlessly on the playground, or college, where connections were built into dorm life, adulthood throws us new challenges—busy schedules, shifting priorities, and the reality that making (and keeping) friendships takes effort. This is a topic I love and have spent a lot of time thinking about. Years ago, I led a seminar on friendship and connection, and despite facing plenty of obstacles, I've been able to build an incredible, supportive group of friends. But it wasn't by accident—it was by understanding what makes friendships work and taking intentional steps to cultivate them. Recently, I came across Mel Robbins' Three Pillars of Friendship—Proximity, Time/Phase of Life, and Energy—and I found myself nodding along because, yes, these are the things that make or break friendships. I also love her Let Them Philosophy, but what I've also embraced is the ‘Let Me' Approach—the idea that Let me be the one to reach out, Let me be the one to host the party, Let me take responsibility for building the connections I want in my life. In this episode, I'm diving into all of this—why making friends in adulthood is hard, how to navigate it, and how to take action to build real, meaningful relationships. And stay tuned, because in upcoming episodes, I'll be exploring the different types of friends based on personality—what strengths they bring to relationships, where imbalances may show up, and how to cultivate deeper connections by understanding temperament. If you've been struggling to find or deepen friendships, or just want to be more intentional about the relationships in your life, this episode is for you.    Get an Adult Temperament Test at Wendy@WendyGossett.com Set up a FREE Chat at:  https://wendygossett.as.me/ChatwithWendy Take my FREE child temperament test:  https://wendygossett.com/child-inner-drive-assessment-product/ Request a FREE Adult Temperament/Enneagram/Instincts Test: https://wendygossett.com/ Website: Wendy Gossett.com Get FREE resources on my website: https://wendygossett.com/ or email me at WendyGossett.com Facebook Podcast Page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61565445936367 Book: Your Child's Inner Drive:Parenting by Personality from Toddlers to Teens on Amazon or  https://wendygossett.com/product/your-childs-inner-drive-parenting-by-personality-for-toddlers-to-teens/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaaOCjoDyOk4_gS1KCncLvQ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wendy.gossett/?next=%2F Linked In: www.linkedin.com/in/wendygossett       Wendy Gossett helps parents understand their children by using temperament psychology and neuroscience.

Did they make you feel afraid you might be physically hurt? Physical Abuse: Did a parent or other adult in the household often push, grab, slap, or throw something at you? Or ever hit you so hard that you had marks or were injured? Sexual Abuse: Did an adult or older person ever touch you inappropriately, try to make you touch them sexually, or force you into sexual contact? Neglect Emotional Neglect: Did you often feel that no one in your family loved you or thought you were important or special? Or that your family didn't look out for or support each other? Physical Neglect: Did you often feel that you didn't have enough to eat, had to wear dirty clothes, or had no one to protect you? Or that your parents were too drunk or high to care for you or take you to the doctor if needed? Household Dysfunction Parental Separation or Divorce: Were your parents ever separated or divorced? Domestic Violence: Did your mother or stepmother (or another household adult) often get pushed, grabbed, slapped, or have something thrown at them?
