Step into the chaotic, loving world of Matt Asner and Navah Paskowitz-Asner as they bring you the sixth episode of The Brady Bunch of Autism from their home base at the Ed Asner Family Center. The couple brims with excitement, sharing that their academy for adults with autism has reached full capacity for the first time – a milestone achievement in their mission to provide meaningful support beyond high school years.
Television takes center stage as Matt and Navah offer thoughtful commentary on recent shows featuring authentic neurodivergent representation. They dissect HBO's "The Pit," praising its nuanced portrayal of a character who, while never explicitly labeled autistic, displays genuine neurodivergent traits that resonate with real-life experiences. Their discussion of "Love on the Spectrum" becomes particularly moving when they reflect on Connor and Georgie's relationship, describing one interaction as "one of the most pure and beautiful moments I think I've ever seen on TV" – a connection they hope their own children might experience someday.
The conversation shifts to their upcoming poker tournament fundraiser on June 14th, where they've thoughtfully reduced ticket prices while still offering an outstanding experience with celebrity guests and cuisine from Ma's Italian Kitchen. Listeners get a special treat as the hosts introduce Asher from their academy's podcasting class, showcasing his "Music Junkies" podcast and demonstrating the real-world skills their participants develop. The episode closes with a heartwarming introduction to Gizmo, the Pekingese who serves as both Matt's emotional support companion and the Center's unofficial mascot – a small dog who knows he's "working" when at the Center but can let loose at home.
Whether you're a family touched by autism, an advocate, or someone seeking connection through shared experiences, this episode offers the perfect blend of practical information, authentic representation, and heartfelt storytelling.
