"Kindness starts with understanding. Inclusion starts with awareness. And belonging starts with all of us." --Angela

In this episode, listeners will learn:

• Simple, child-friendly ways to explain autism: what it is, what it isn’t, and how autistic kids experience the world.
• How autism looks in real life inside a family: speech delays, sensory needs, routines, big feelings, and bursts of joy that don’t show up in textbooks.
• Practical ways to guide your children to be kind and inclusive: what to say, how to model compassion, and how to teach kids to respond with patience instead of fear or judgment.
• How siblings navigate neurodiversity: the heart, the challenges, and the profound empathy that grows when a child loves an autistic brother or sister.

In this powerful episode, we step inside the real stories of autism. Not the headlines, not the stereotypes, but the everyday life. With honesty and tenderness, Hannah and her 12 year old daughter, Noah, invite us into their world: a world filled with sensory moments, routines, laughter, challenges, breakthroughs, and an enormous amount of love. With their help, parents will learn the language they can use to help their own children understand differences with compassion and curiosity.

Together, we explore what autism truly looks like, how to talk about it with your kids, and how to build homes and communities centered on kindness and inclusion. This episode isn’t about getting it perfect, it’s about getting it human. It’s about raising children who see people for who they are, not who the world expects them to be. And it’s a reminder that belonging begins with conversations just like this one.
