In this episode, we share what it’s like to navigate the world with our son Milo, who is autistic. Through moments from a recent trip, we reflect on the contrast between the comfort of our home “bubble” and the unpredictability of public spaces.

We talk about the unseen effort behind Milo’s behaviors, the challenges of being out in the world, and how brief interactions can shape understanding.

We reference a quote from Kate Swenson of Finding Cooper's Voice in this episode. You can follow their family page here:
