As our guest Lauren Melissa explains- the world is full of neurodiversity- just as it is full of biodiversity. And yet, the extent of many parents’ education on autism are from social media reels like “four early signs that my child has autism.” 

We have a better source for you today, and that’s because Lauren Melissa speaks from her personal experience as an autistic person. Whether you are a parent to an autistic child, or a parent who just wants to help your own child build empathy for others, this episode is a must.
