Listen Later

Hey friends! Happy Wednesday! 🌞 It's your favorite podcaster, April Ratchford, here, melting away in the Kentucky heat but ready to dive into another insightful episode of Adulting with Autism.

Today's episode is a special one. We're talking about the push and pull of independence between young adults on the spectrum and their parents. I know firsthand how challenging it can be to balance independence with parental guidance. That's why we've got the amazing Rebecca Silence with us, a self-healing and relationship expert, to share her wisdom on improving communication and fostering a harmonious home environment.

Rebecca's insights are truly transformative, and I can't wait for you to hear them. We'll discuss everything from emotional regulation to navigating disappointment and supporting your kids' dreams. Trust me, you don't want to miss this!
