A brief but meaningful interaction in a crowded Costco aisle left us thinking long after it ended. As Milo grows older, we sometimes find ourselves wondering how the world will respond to the ways he connects with others, especially when those interactions don’t always fit social expectations.

We also share updates on Milo’s recent progress at therapy, including encouraging data from his annual IEP meeting and steps forward in his communication skills.

And after attending a local carnival, we share how we're reminded of how powerful community and recognition can be.

Topics discussed: autism parenting, neurodiversity, developmental disabilities, IEP progress, communication development, autism communication skills, disability inclusion, parenting a child with autism
