Reason To Believe With Brian Quain

Thank you for being a HUGE support. I wish I had more strength or knew how to handle everything I was going through. PLEASE LEAVE CASIE ALONE...respect what she is going through, and she knew nothing of this and won't have any answers. Everything you need to know is here. Celebrate each other now; don't worry about me. Goodbye to those who have reached out and been there for each other...you made a difference...trust me. Thank you.

Many autistic individuals find puzzles appealing due to their structure, focus, and the sense of control and accomplishment they offer…and Brian is one of them. Go through Brian’s journey of video game consoles, favorite video games, board games, and puzzles. Listen as Brian explains E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial for Atari 2600, all the way to Fallout, Animal Crossing, or puzzle games on the phone.

Brian sits down with David Lawrence, one of the Sunshine State's most talented and thriving photographers. David opens up with raw honesty about his mind as a child, within his family, and in relationships as he's gotten older. His vibrant sense of humor has been key to navigating a brain that never stops. Despite major ups and downs, David's unwavering talent behind the camera and his passionate ability to connect with people for incredible portrait shots have never faltered. A huge thanks to David for taking time out of his insanely busy schedule to chat with us.

Brian is having a really rough week and is in one of the worst funks in a LONG time. Casie sits with Brian to go over what's been going on in his head, because that's usually where these thoughts and feelings will come from first. Brian also discusses a video he posted online about what goes on during these feelings and thoughts, and how he appreciated the support from such a vulnerable and honest recording. Also, Brian watches Spongebob Squarepants for the first time after finding out that the character has been announced on the spectrum. Hear his thoughts...not much changed there to be honest.

This is an episode you won't want to miss as Brian joyfully reconnects with a truly special person, Ambar. Brian recognized Ambar's unique potential and unwavering passion from the moment they met, a connection that now feels profoundly meaningful. Now our listeners get to meet the famous Ambar from Brian's "fidget spinner stories," plus...Ambar shares the story of their initial meeting, offering intimate glimpses into her childhood, the significance of her friendships, and the foundations of her family. Ambar's genuine humanity shines through, making their instant reconnection after six years truly remarkable. We are deeply grateful to Ambar for her candidness, and we believe her experiences will touch many hearts.

What is "squirelling" and why does Brian have a heavy case of the "squirrels" all the time? This makes it impossible for Brian to enjoy a dinner when there are TV's on, or a guitar player doing their worst cover of "Wonderwall." It could be when you are on the phone and something catches your attention, and you zone out on the conversation for a minute or two. Squirelling can be exhausting and something many of us with ASD and ADHD are afflicted with every day. In this episode, Brian brings it up to Casie, and they go over how it affects their "any given day" and how Casie handles it too.

This episode has been a LONG time coming, and it's finally made it to your podcast listening ears or ear goggles/air pods. I get the opportunity to sit with my buddy and dear friend, Rich Stone (Memoirs Coffee Roasters), as we discuss his amazing company, Florida punk rock, our safe space, and safe place, but what makes our tism's tick. Rich has the best heart, is very much in tune with his ASD, and always has an open door to discuss food, music, TV, philosophy, or whatever you need to get off your chest.

You can find his coffee, and you need to find his coffee in your mug soon, over at: www.memoirscofee.com

Due to some technical difficulties, which Brian had better get fixed this morning, while you are listening to this episode, we decided to hit record and Casie discusses Brian's diagnosis, and before that. Why did Brian NOT think he was neurospicy? Why did Brian have a hard time coping with it? But, stick around to the end and find out why the podcast is called "Reason To Believe," and we thank the man that inspired it, and how he is speaking on behalf of MANY of us, during his European Tour last week.

We will be back within 24-48 hours with our dear friend and one of Brian's favorite people in the world, Rich Stone of Memoirs Coffee Roasters in Knoxville, TN.
