  • Handling School Life with an Autistic Child A Parent’s Perspective
    Jan 22 2026

    School can be a challenging world for autistic kids and for the parents who love them. In this episode, we explore what it really looks like to navigate classrooms, routines, sensory overwhelm, and communication gaps with compassion and clarity. From understanding your child’s unique rhythm to building a collaborative relationship with teachers, this conversation offers practical guidance and emotional validation for parents who often feel like they’re advocating alone. You’ll hear gentle strategies for preparing your child for the school day, supporting regulation, celebrating quiet wins, and advocating without apology. Most of all, this episode reminds you that you’re doing enough, your child’s needs are valid, and you’re not walking this path by yourself.

  • Parenting on the Spectrum the World We Build Together
    Jan 14 2026

    Parenting a child on the autism spectrum reshapes the way you move through the world — the pace you keep, the details you notice, the battles you choose, and the beauty you learn to see. In this episode, Anne opens the door to the real, unfiltered experience of raising a neurodiverse child: the sensory overwhelm, the public moments that test your strength, the quiet victories that no one else sees, and the deep, steady love that anchors it all.

    Through honest storytelling and gentle reflection, this episode explores what it means to build a world that honors your child’s rhythm instead of forcing them into someone else’s. It’s a conversation about presence, advocacy, emotional regulation, and the unexpected joy that comes from seeing your child’s individuality shine.

    Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, educator, or simply someone who wants to understand autism more deeply, this episode offers connection, clarity, and a reminder that every child deserves a world that fits them not the other way around.
