The Pancake King: Life and Marriage On the Spectrum

In this special 'filler' episode, Forrest, Blade, and an old friend Alec share childhood memories and how they grew up being Alec's friend, without ever actually meeting each other.

Forrest chats with his in-laws to learn how they raised their daughter on the autism spectrum and some of the challenges they took on.

Sorry for the audio issues on my guest's end! I'll be working on improving this in the future.

Forrest interviews Taylor, a mental health agency worker to discuss his experiences working with children that have autism and other mental disorders.

Forrest and KG sit in a hotel room and discuss their history of writing, their strengths and weaknesses, how certain writing weaknesses are connected to their autism, and how their collaborating has helped address the weaknesses.

ADHD and autism can go hand in hand often and it's common for ADHD to be a part of the diagnosis. With this in mind, Forrest has on an old friend to discuss what life is like for him with ADHD and what he has to do to work around it.

An intruder takes over the podcast to share a story about getting used to a spectrumite's habits at the start of a marriage.

Forrest sits down with his wife's grandmother to ask her how she learned about autism through her granddaughter's diagnosis and what that meant for how she took care of her as she grew up. Apologies for the loud background noise. Quieter settings will be sought in the future!

Forrest and KG review the marriage books they read before they got married and determine whether or not they actually helped them.

Forrest discusses what it was like being diagnosed and what it meant to be diagnosed at a later time in his life (plus a guest appearance by mom!)

Guest and friend Blade shares his story about his diagnosis on the autism spectrum and how it impacted his education.
