The One with the Squirrels

Autistic elopers are like squirrels.

Everything can be calm. Regulated. Peaceful.
And then one tiny thing irritates their brain — and they’re gone.

In this episode of Chaos with Kori, a free Starbucks coffee, a pair of pants that refused to cooperate, and one very dramatic squirrel collide into a powerful realization about autistic elopement.

We’re talking about nervous systems, not defiance.
Flight mode, not misbehavior.
Security hoarding, not greed.

And maybe most importantly — we’re talking about Mrs. Squirrel.

Because everyone talks about the child who runs.
No one talks about the parent who never stops scanning.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted from tracking exits, anticipating triggers, and living in “this time” mode… this one’s for you.

You’re not failing.
You’re watching a squirrel.
