The Tiger Moms Chat is a series of unfiltered hard-hitting (sometimes) conversations. As Searmi and Vaish wonder what it is to be a tiger mom - they think that being a tiger mom partly means pushing past comfort zones. We discuss a few controversial topics in this episode - including the Telepathy Tapes - both for and against.  From Vaish: "The question is not if telepathy is real. It is - is it necessary to sensationalize an already marginalized group?" We discuss if presuming competence is the same as presuming genius and more.  Please check out Episode 171 for more on Apraxia.

173 Presuming Genius, Telepathy and Intuition [Tiger Moms Chat with Searmi Park]

Where fierce love meets radical possibility.

Raising a child with a disability isn’t for the faint of heart—and if you’re a parent who refuses to give up on your child’s potential, you’re in the right place.

Hosted by TEDx speaker and Ph.D. Chemist Dr. Vaish Sarathy—mother to a non-speaking Autistic teen with Down syndrome—this podcast offers a bold new way to support your child’s learning, regulation, and independence without burnout or busywork.

You’ll discover how to:

- Create a flow state of collaborative learning at home

- Support brain + body health with practical, science-backed tools

- Use Non Linear Education to unlock growth in ways traditional systems never could

Hear from top educators, researchers, and self-advocates. And most importantly, believe again—in your child, and in yourself.

This isn’t about miracle cures or false promises. It’s about real change, built on real science, real strategies, and real hope.

Follow along to find your rhythm, fuel your energy, and finally feel like you're not alone on this journey.
