Join us as we explore the world of autism through expert interviews, personal stories, and actionable strategies to empower individuals and families.
EP 23: Autism and High School
Chris chats with 15-year-old Kincaid, a passionate theater kid and film making enthusiast. Kincaid reflects on his experience with autism—starting with his initial diagnosis, addressing misunderstandings, and discovering his love for performing arts and videography. With humor and insight, he discusses hyperfixations, the getting involved in inclusive communities, and his belief that a diagnosis should not define a person. This podcast is an uplifting reminder that the greatest role you can play is yourself.
EP 22: Neurodiversity is the “Spice” of Life
Chris welcomes Dr. Kristen Williamson—a “neuro-spicy” licensed professional counselor, behavior health consultant, and unapologetic champion for neurodivergent minds. Dr. Williamson shares her expertise alongside her personal journey of navigating life as a late-diagnosed autistic and ADHD professional. Chris and Kristen dive into how autism presents in women, the challenges of masking, and the unique experiences of motherhood as a neurodivergent parent. Kristen is relatable, insightful, and inspiring, offering practical strategies and heartfelt wisdom for anyone looking to better understand themselves or the neurodivergent people in their lives. Whether you’re a parent, professional, or neurodivergent individual yourself, this conversation is full of validation, humor, and empowering takeaways.
