So much of what the world “knows” about autism comes from stereotypes, secondhand assumptions, or outdated ideas. In this episode, Jeremy pulls back the curtain and shares 25 raw, honest truths that autistic people wish you really understood. From sensory overload to social fatigue, from the way words land differently to the need for recovery time—these aren’t just quirks or preferences, they’re real experiences that shape daily life. By walking through these insights with both clarity and compassion, Jeremy invites you to see the world through autistic eyes.

Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, partner, teacher, or friend, this episode will help you bridge the gap between “knowing about autism” and actually understanding autistic people. The goal isn’t pity or perfection—it’s empathy & understanding. With candid storytelling and practical takeaways, you’ll walk away with a deeper appreciation of why connection sometimes feels complicated, and how small shifts in awareness can make relationships not just easier, but richer.
