This week, we welcome Nicholas and Stephen from On The Spectrum podcast. We had such a great time learning more about their backgrounds, origins of their podcast, and the dynamics of their improv comedy and other performing arts. Steve and Nick share their personal experiences growing up undiagnosed with autism, discuss the challenges they faced in the education system and the misunderstandings that arose from their behaviors. They reflect on their journeys towards diagnosis, the impact it had on their lives, and how it helped them make sense of their past struggles. Great laughs, new insights, and unique perspectives from autistic adults, what more can you ask for? Listen here and then go check out their podcast.

Warning: there’s some swearing in this episode, so if you don’t want the kids hearing/repeating, go grab those headphones.

Holiday reflections, winter break highs and lows, and everyone’s favorite: back-to-school transitions, hooray! (insert sarcasm here)

There are some good things happening, we promise. We’ve got some updates on trying new foods, small victories with holiday gatherings, and some routine breakthroughs. 2025, here we come!
