We explore the role of community and how to approach autism with your neighbors.

Join us today as we touch on the topic of parental self-awareness and how it may impact our children.

Today we talk about potty training an autistic child and how we suddenly found success after a year plus of trying.

In today’s episode, we discuss the role of dads in autism and why they tend to be less vocal in the autism community.

In this episode, we speak on the struggles of making friends as parents of autistic children as well as the unique challenges our kids face when building friendships.

Tune in as we discuss prepping our kids for school, IEPs, and transitions. We answer questions such as, how can I make the transition to school easier for my autistic child? What are some things I should advocate for in my child’s IEP? And how can I help my child’s teacher see them as more than a diagnosis?

In the Season 4 premier, we discuss the importance of advocacy in the autism community and practical steps you can take as a parent to help create a more autism inclusive world for your child.

We are excited to share with you audio from the premiering episode of the Embracing Autism IRL (in real life) spinoff companion.  In this video series, we interview guests from a variety of backgrounds who are all linked together through Autism discussing controversial yet critical topics in the autism community. In today’s episode, we interview Samar Waqar, Founder of Kind Theory on the topic of neurodiversity and autism acceptance.

In the Hearth & Home season three finale, we chat about how to determine if or when it’s the appropriate time to disclose your child’s autism diagnosis as well as with whom that information should and should not be shared.
