Your child just got an autism diagnosis, and nobody handed you a manual. Connect and Curate is where you start.
Hosted by Jacquelene Nigrelli, founder of Illuminate Academy, Connect and Curate brings more than twenty years of experience with autistic kids, their families, and the professionals who support them into honest, practical conversations about what actually helps.
We’ll talk about autism, parenting, behavior, regulation, education, advocacy, and the hard moments that leave you wondering, ‘What do I do now?’
No information overload. No judgment. No pretending there’s one right way to do this.
Just real conversations that help you connect what you’re seeing with what your child may be communicating, then curate the tools, support, and next steps that make sense for your family.
And while many conversations begin with parents, Connect and Curate is also for educators, therapists, and professionals who want to understand and support autistic kids and their families more deeply.
Real talk. Real tools. Zero judgment.
